Birth is painful, but that pain is soon forgotten. Rearing children is hard, but so rewarding. Watching great human beings grow with tiny bits of you within, allowing them to make their own decisions, so they will become their own person and be proud of the path they choose. Sleepovers, holidays, collage. summer jobs, parties, and visits to friends, they walk out the door but always come back to their own beds and surround you with love. Then they find their wings to fly, but still live in your heart. The empty nest, more painful than birth, not ever forgotten.

Both pains that most parents are destined to endure, but with the pain comes great happiness.

You are so right Sue, the happiness of seeing them grow and become their own person. Then the happiness of the good news that you are going to be a grand parent :-) Comments are closed.
