the chick has flown the coop

Pin It

I wonder why time flies when you're spending it with the ones you love. Dropped my daughter off at IAH early this morning for her flight north. The week went by way too fast.

I have always loved having my kids around. They have been the light of my life since the day they were born. Never a difficult age. Never gave me any grief. Always wanted them with me. Always.

Both of my children have turned into wonderful adults. I can't believe in two weeks my first baby turns twenty-one and two and half weeks later her brother turns eighteen. Where have the years gone? Like this week, they flew by...

My kids make me proud every day. I can't imagine what it would be like to be without them. I hope I never have to find out. Parents who lose children must go through hell and back to survive. I don't know how my mother has made it losing my brother and then his son. She has more internal strength than I can even imagine. She inspires me every day.

Today the chick has flown the coop. Now the mother bird needs to fly. She needs her Hope so she can breathe... and move forward once again. With love...
