as a mom i can relate how my mil wants to have all her children in one place..too bad she cant have that wish yet..
but isnt it better to let our kids spread their wings? and see how far they can go?
Motherhood is never easy. When the children are babies, they are so dependent on us that we sometimes feel so burdened by the daily rigors of taking care of them. However, once they get to be adults, they unleash the ties that bind them to us and try to let loose and be free from our bond, to fly on their own, to seek their dreams, etc. Then we also miss that clinging love they used to have for us. Then, we get hurt when we feel seemingly "unimportant "to them. But that is what it is to be parent. In time, we have to let go. Just us how our parents felt when they let go of us to find our places in the sun.

I look at my baby and i want to enjoy him while he is still young, huggable and lovable. Thats the beautiful phase in his life, and in my life. I know I may be losing sleep because of his irregular sleeping pattern, feeding time, and a million and one demands of a baby. But nothing can compare with the joy that parenthood brings.
