My children…..the loves of my being….the most wonderful part of why I am alive…..as they are growing I feel like I’m losing them one by one……I have always felt that I have done the very best to my ability to raise them to be respectful, polite and just down right good kids…..I still believe I have that….but at the same time i feel like I’m losing them…….

 As they grow up they distant themselves..for many reasons…some not known, some for just “growin up” reasons….I as a mother can’t stand this right now…I still want to be that one to wipe the bootie, wipe the tears and NOT want to see them walk away because they are to “BIG” for that…..I’m struggling right now and not sure I can deal with this…..anyone feel the same???  Now granted my kids are one almost 17„„one almost 14, one 12 and one almost 10….they aren’t babies…i totally understand that…but i don’t have to like it….
