I appreciate your prayers and thoughts for DiDi more than you know, sweet friend. BIG HUGS!<BR/><BR/>I also hope you have a marvelous time on your trip. I will be in the panhandle for the funeral mass (leaving the latter part of next week) and then out of state for a visit with friends and relatives. Or at least that's the plan right now. <BR/><BR/>Have lots of fun in Charleston. There is a wonderful restaurant there called Magnolia's (if it's still there), and I have enjoyed it the times I've eaten there. You might want to check it out.<BR/><BR/>Have lots of fun and be safe...<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter!<BR/><BR/>XO,<BR/><BR/>Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-50559471230236357292009-04-11T23:25:00.000-05:002009-04-11T23:25:00.000-05:00Happy birthday to oh so pretty Abby!

I'm so sorry I'm late visiting everyone this week, my school work is kicking my behind. <BR/>Your post sure hit home. My youngest just turned 19 and will be starting college this year as well. I have a heck of a time letting go, everytime I think I may have this parenting thing figured out something else will sneak up on me that throws me for a loop. <BR/>Thank you for sharing,<BR/>TamGypsy aka Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103722062919432432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-22749646550491579392009-04-08T16:35:00.000-05:002009-04-08T16:35:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday to the beautiful Abby!

Perhaps misery loves company but it means so much to hear someone say, "I've been there too!". This is something I look for every day when I check my comments. I am opening myself up to people I know somehow I can trust. And you, my friends, have never fallen short of that.<BR/><BR/>I always appreciate advice, shared stories and just plain old compliments on what I write. So far it seems that all of you can see that it has been an emotional day for me while I, later in the day, have kept up a brave face (!!!) for Abby's sake. I wish I had something profound, even er...poetic to say! I can only say "thank you" from the bottom of my heart, for reading between the lines. :-)<BR/><BR/>I thank my lucky stars I became a mother. And of course that will never end. I also have to start realizing that I too, am an individual and maybe I have to learn how to leave the nest.<BR/><BR/>Much, much love,<BR/>BlondieBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-67545364651817457732009-04-07T20:43:00.001-05:002009-04-07T20:43:00.001-05:00Happy Birthday to Abby!18 is a big milestone!And i...Happy Birthday to Abby!18 is a big milestone!And its the most beautiful time in life.Ask her to enjoy and savour it slowly!Its once in a lifetime that you turn 18!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>love<BR/>chaitraCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633291405359858121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-26111062767798563122009-04-07T20:43:00.000-05:002009-04-07T20:43:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday to Abby!18 is a big milestone!And i...Happy Birthday to Abby!18 is a big milestone!And its the most beautiful time in life.Ask her to enjoy and savour it slowly!Its once in a lifetime that you turn 18!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>love<BR/>chaitraCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633291405359858121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-37061507742249472972009-04-07T18:48:00.000-05:002009-04-07T18:48:00.000-05:00Hey Janie,My daughter Katie is 18 and will be 19 n...Hey Janie,<BR/>My daughter Katie is 18 and will be 19 next month. Your daughter is lovely and I know just how you feel. Katie has grown up a lot this past year and although I miss her a ton, I am getting used to it. She is my youngest too. Wow, you have a lot coming up with graduation and all. Good luck to you.

And I'm sitting here blubbering like a baby reading your fears of learning to "let go". This really brings it back, the fears and questions. But be assured that you have raised her to be an intelligent, independent young woman, and know that she will surely blossom. But she will always need her "mommy time" Hugs, KathyKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396548112800738809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-7333586303523723342009-04-07T15:42:00.000-05:002009-04-07T15:42:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday Abby!!!
