Yesterday, my son graduated from high school. This is the third child that I’ve graduated, and it doesn’t get any easier. It’s tough watching your children grow up. On one hand, I’m so excited to watch what he does as he prepares to launch. On the other, I will miss the time I spend with him so much.
I often wonder, “Did I do enough?” This is a big question that is difficult to answer. I know that I threw my heart and soul into raising him, and I tried my very best.
As I’ve learned all too well over the past year, our grown children will make their own choices. There is no secret sauce to success that will ensure that our children will make the choices I want them to. (But really, don’t we want our children to make their own decisions, anyhow?)
Watching our children launch is hard, but we can make it through.
It helps to still have so many littles by my side. Children are so much fun! We plan to visit the local aquarium this afternoon after I whip up a few Etsy orders. I can’t wait to see it through their eyes.
Thanks for stopping by today, friends.

This post was so timely! Our oldest graduated from homeschool last year but we have been blessed to have him do virtual college from home for the past year but he will be moving 2 hours away to continue his schooling at the end of July. It’s hard on this mamas heart. How is mamas wish we could make all their decisions for them to ensure their safety and walk with the Lord but we just have to trust that we’ve done our job and leave the rest up to God. Blessings Nicole!
Absolutely. Blessings to you too, Magan!
