Being close isn't always about distance, and all moms wish the emotional, physical and spiritual closeness would be theirs with their children...and yet, they do have wings and they do fly and God writes their stories, not us.<br />Now to go wipe my eyes...my heart knows this well.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697514331807730626.post-69372710602735327902013-07-10T00:40:43.355-05:002013-07-10T00:40:43.355-05:00You raised a lovely young daughter. What a though...You raised a lovely young daughter. What a thoughtful gift. And it is so special that she makes sure the little men send you notes of love, too. I am supposed to be planning our trip to the States but just can't seem to get motivated to do so. The first 2 weeks I will have to wing it without my husband -- not looking forward to that at all. I don't have family to stay with so there will be a whole lot of hotel living which is fine, the boys enjoy that, it's just expensive. Oh well! When my husband arrives, we will road trip it from New Orleans to Colorado where we will settle Yusef in at college and then leave him. That is the part I am really, really not looking forward to. So your post has touched my heart and right now I can't see to type from the tears. :( Best wishes and blessings, TammyTammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697514331807730626.post-83022692149675522872013-06-29T17:06:48.127-05:002013-06-29T17:06:48.127-05:00Tanna- we are about 2 hours away from 2 of our gra...Tanna- we are about 2 hours away from 2 of our grandbabies and that sometimes seems like an eternity.

Of course everyone can't do that, so we feel incredibly blessed. For one reason or another, everything fell into place. But in the end, it may be temporary, as my son warned us (before we moved) that he might have to return east one day to advance his career. I'm hoping it won't happen too soon! Life is forever changing and we have to enjoy what we have at each moment.<br /><br />PS: This quilt is lovely! Your daughter is very thoughtful!
