Goodbye… Love you
Goodbye, LittleOne5, just for a Few Hours
I started writing this post with the title of Letting Go, but that quickly became a post about letting go when you are moving. That just happens sometimes 
That was fine too, it must have needed to be said.
“Goodbye…. I love you” when said to your children starting new ventures are tough. What is the balance between being the parent that nurtures and wants to keep the kids under their wing vs. loving them enough to let them go?
LittleOne5 is starting Kindergarten soon.
AChrome22 got dropped off at college a few years ago.
Princess19 jumped out of the door at Junior High at I wept the whole way home, it’s been a while, but I remember.
No matter what ventures lie ahead, sometimes the goodbye is tough. It’s important to let your children know that you love them – don’t forget that part. (Especially when they go to college, they tend to get busy and not call you as often -so when they do, make it last !)
It’ll be a bittersweet day in a couple of weeks for me. Although I’ve been down the path twice before (I homeschooled some, but had to let them go at different stages – saying goodbye to LittleOne5 as she walks through the doors of Elementary School won’t be easy.
Saying goodbye to my Pumpkin Pie….. for a long, few hours…. at least I can still walk her in, I don’t have to drop her off a block before the school

T can’t believe it! Just be present in the remaining days of her oreschool phase and store those moments in your memory jar. Then watch her fly! Just yesterday I sent you through those doors. Love to my big, small, and in between girls! Sounds like we need a back to school party!
Kim, oh give her a big hug for me when she comes home – wish I was closer so we could go have coffee and commiserate

What a lovely post. I just dropped by to say thanks for the kind words you left when you stopped by my blog. It is always nice to hear from a friend, even one I have yet to meet in person. What a treat to find this reflection and the great photograph that accompanies it. Great work!
Sandy, aka Mom…. It is amazing how fast it happens! Lucky you have kids all across the board, eh
Party? Or tea time!!! (Just the little cousins this year – and college, eh)
Will ………. Funny, I didn’t even think of this post when I read yours :O They were a little bit similar in thought I think!
