and they do, over and over again.

it's because we love them unconditionally.

You know us kids can say the same about our parents

Big_G, you will know someday. Just be kind to your dad and KiWi. It's not always easy, but you hold your dad's heart in your hands.

trust me on this one.

LazyD is okay.

what has happened?

, too. Is everyone ok?

yes. I raised two daughters to be independent, courageous, and alive. Just wish they weren't so...independent. They've each managed

to break my heart this week, but it's all good. They are flying!

remembers what it was like to spread my wings. I am so thankful that my grandmother still loves me

it ain't easy to make children into fine adults, and you have two, and this world is better off for it.

lazy_D I can relate. Both of mine are grown and gone. Chin up!

thanks. Tomorrow will look better!

just remember you hurt that much b/c you love them that much.

knows that the price of great love is great pain. It's worth it.

the reward for this will come when they get a few years older, and your daughters call you for advice.

if/when they become parents, they draw you deep inside with a new bond.

when they become more friends than your children.
