You only fail when you stop trying!

This was a hard week. One in which my heart strings were much tied in a knot with my Big Littles. She started off the week with a new job in a big city and ended the week back home. I think she was brave. Brave for going and even braver for coming home. 

I'm proud of her for many things, I am glad she went forth and let her dream heart lead. I want nothing but success for her. I am proud that she had the courage to say no to building a life that was not hers and instead try to build one for herself. 

We only fail when we stop trying. And she never stops trying. I know bigger and better things are in store for her, but I also know disappointment and until the silver lining is seen,  the dissapointment lingers. 

Don't ask her what happened when you see her, just send your good vibes forward. It's always better that way. We all could use more good. And true love does not relish in the muck. Give hugs & high fives, support and well wishes. 

Because you know, life is hard. It's NOT easy being in your twenties trying to figure things out. 

You know, this grown up mother of a grown up child thing isn't easy either. It is very different. I don't want to be the mother child I was when she was young, I want to be her biggest fan and favor, not a reminder that I would have done things differently, because I am different and my answers are not hers. 

 She is different.

 I respect her journey and her dreams. I wanted to strategize and help her solve her problems, but I need permission now. This is her life. Her shaping. Her journey. Her now. I trust her. I believe in her. She has greatness. 

I want relationship, I already have the love. I WILL be there for the ups and downs and give my advice only when she asks, unless it has to do with driving, then I can't help myself. {hehe} I will always, always, give my love freely, no hold backs for next time, this time is always the time to say love. 

You see,  I'm learning to live further away from me and closer to what her eyes can see. 

From me to you w love, 

Mommer
