Oh what a night....
The reality of this wedding is really hitting me now. We've been out trying to round up things for Friday and Saturday ever since I got off work today. It's going to be a busy few days. I took off Friday to help take care of things such as set up and decorating and all. Oh my and all the girls will be here staying with us. Dear Lord, please help me.....I need all ya'lls prayers. Please continue to lift us up. I've only got 3 more days with my little girl.
You don't have 3 days left, because she will be over there all the time. Now if she was a boy that would another whole ball game. The girls tend to come home for all the importants holidays, but those boys are not allowed to. Those daughter in laws always goes to their mommys for all the special occasions. I have yet to spend 1 Christmas with my son since he married 15 years ago. I sure hope she is reading this as I would love to spend Christmas with him this year.
You have a PM
What ever happened to you spend one Christmas with one parent and the next with the other. In my house...The Carmichaels most important day was Christmas Eve....and in the Junge house, the most important day was Christmas Day....so it was always Christmas Eve with one grandmother and Christmas day with the other.....they were about 8 miles apart, which helped. All major holidays were spent with both families...some of my best memories.
Look at it this way, Loretta...now YOU can go visit them and let her cook supper for you and you can accidently spill cool-aid on the rug, etc. You really can enjoy your grown children alot. I sure do. I am also glad that some of the time, me and John now have time to ourselves...if they would just stop moving back in. Seriously...you are in my prayers. I love ya!!!
I know exactly how you feel right this minute, it is alot of emotions ALL racing through your mind and system at one time and you dont know if your coming or going. Just keep strong in faith, the day will come when she comes to Mama for advice. The kind of advice where she needs Mama's wisdom and guidance with decision making. Trust me on this one, when that day comes it will deepend an already strong and loving relationship. It actually shocked me when that happened, just recently, in fact.
I cant wait to see the pictures! Take a hot bath, few deep breaths and take some time for YOU during all of this too. Prayers with you all.
