It takes so much more energy to resist. We've seen lots of change this year with our oldest away at school but honestly, it has been good for all of us. As much as I hate to see her go, I'm happy for her new found independence. She seems so content.Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03872899189875117518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570308709067611215.post-732829757154617482011-11-09T20:05:32.763-07:002011-11-09T20:05:32.763-07:00This is a beautiful post for so many reasons.
