Broken Heart on a String

This is to all the Mothers and Fathers who have felt the same pain.

My Heart is Broken or at least it feels that way. I feel a little empty inside and scared at the same time. My oldest daughter has started her journey into adult life hood. She has no ideal what she is facing as she has been under our wing for all these years. At her age I had already been married to her father and had started my own journey. I now know and feel everything that my mother must have felt when I started my own journey. IT HURTS!!!! It has been extremely painful process to let this Beautiful child go, but we must as every parent must do and just hope and pray that we have done the best job we knew how to do. I will miss seeing her smile everyday or when just comes slamming through the door after school and dropping everything on the floor. Oh, how I wish for those days again. It was just yesterday that she was in diapers. Where has the time gone????? I feel robbed that I didn't get more time with her. I now want to spend every second that I have left with my son before he too starts his journey. I just don't know how to bare this pain. I guess I have loved my children too much. Sorry to carry on but it helps to write it down it seems, I have already cried all the tears, but there will be more I am sure.
