That empty room<br />touches my heart every time<br />I pass it. The first year is hard,<br />isn't it? But as Keri says, you<br />do find your own rhythm, eventually.<br />But oh, a do-over, now that would<br />be divine ♥<br /><br />xo SuzannePrivet and Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384567378252265965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755599066469805465.post-36654686107012227252014-09-30T12:19:56.394-04:002014-09-30T12:19:56.394-04:00Sweet Lucy,
You have so lovingly expressed the wa...Sweet Lucy,<br /><br />You have so lovingly expressed the war torn state of my own heart, with regards to my own daughter, who is living just a short car ride away from you! Lack of work, here in Greece, has forced us to be apart. But, she has prospered, learned so much, has been working steadily since she got there, and I am so very proud of her. I don't think that I can accept this situation indefinitely, since we are very close and I miss her so much! Thus, decisions need to be made, as to the future, permanent residence of this family. <br /><br />Adapting isn't easy, as you are finding out. Some days are better than others, and although my friends tell me that I must accept that she is an adult, I still always see that bright eyed and quick witted, intelligent, loving little girl, and I want to be needed by her, just like all those years ago. They will always be our babies.<br /><br />Hope you find more feathers. And, when you have collected enough, may they help you fly to more soothing places in your soul.<br /><br />xx<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755599066469805465.post-26426852981159854822014-09-28T23:36:15.987-04:002014-09-28T23:36:15.987-04:00Oh Lucy, I understand what you're saying.

Your girls remind me somewhat of my own - two very different girls, but the same in many ways. I love the picture of the two of them playing together when they were little. What you said about 'memories left behind like feathers scattered' was so true, and the picture that goes with it is special. <br /><br />I wish you happiness in the days ahead, Lucy, and your girls will certainly come home to see their precious mother. I truly appreciate the words that you write. They are sincere and beautiful.<br /><br />love,<br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755599066469805465.post-62292465319772840152014-09-26T11:40:08.222-04:002014-09-26T11:40:08.222-04:00Oh Lucy, I can feel a twinge of your mother's...Oh Lucy, I can feel a twinge of your mother's heart. For some reason, this post brought tears into my eyes and down my cheeks. <br /><br /> Life is so precious and kids grow up faster than speeding bullets. Then, it's grandchildren time (which you willl one day experience, too.) All of these life experiences are precious. All are fleeting.<br /><br />It was a lovely post. (sniff sniff). Hope your weekend is nice, too.

With two gone we have one room that we have made into the guest room for the times when they come to visit. We have a separate room that was built in our garage that was my oldest son's room and when he moved out then the next wanted in and so on. So each child has moved into that room before moving out. My third is in there now and will be moving away this Summer. Then the fourth, the last, my baby will move into that room. It was never planned to happen that way. I try not to think about when they are all gone! Wahhh! I do not want that day to come. <br /><br />I am slowly learning the new rhythm to my days that are so quiet yet beautiful. <br />I hope you will too. It's hard. <br />Sending you love xxoSeawashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299816851144887705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755599066469805465.post-120123169939948892014-09-25T10:41:23.896-04:002014-09-25T10:41:23.896-04:00love it!love it!Janet Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126248666972072628noreply@blogger.com
