Letting Go

My children are growing up and my eldest daughter September reminds me of this everyday. Her grandparents invited her to go to Branson with them for the weekend. That is 2 nights and 2 1/2 days I will not have my little girl by my side. I am really excited for her but I find myself worrying about her being away from me. I loved going with my grandparents and have very fond memories of the times we had together. I stayed summers with my grandparents in Colorado. I want my children to have the same experiences with their grandparent. I just seem to miss my kids when they are away and I will not be able to watch out for her during this time. I know that this is only the first step and that there are many more milestones that I am going to have to have to just get over. As a mother this is not going to be an easy task for me. I don't think I will ever be able to let go completely. I have good kids and I trust that September will make the right decisions. Even though I know I will never let go completely I am going to have to let go a little at time.
