It will be a wonderful wedding day but know you're adding ot your family - not taking away.

I had lots of anxiety and sadness when our son (the oldest) got married. He was the first to leave the nest and there was the extenuating circumstance that his wife-to-be did not like us, made no secret about it, and tried to separate him from us. As it turned out, the anxiety and sadness wasn't misplaced. They live only an hour away but we saw them only a handful of times per year, barely had any time with our grandchildren, and last year they finally cut all ties with us. <br /><br />On the other hand, it was easier to let go of our daughter. I knew she'd be living locally and her husband has always had an open door policy with us. Two years ago they bought the house next door to us and what a blessing that has been. We see them and their children nearly every day. <br /><br />I guess what I'm saying is that it is different with each family and each adult child. My Bible study teacher gave me the good advice to start praying before they left for God to prepare my heart and help me let go and free them. That helped a lot. <br /><br />Congratulations to your daughter and I'm saying a prayer for your momma's heart.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.com
