is so hard to do.
No matter how much we want and no matter how much pray for them not to, children grow up, become adults, and do what they want to do. It is difficult when what we've wished for actually does happen. I had such a wonderful plan in store for a celebratory occasion and just like that, my grown up son took all of the wind out of my sails. There was nothing I could do but accept his decision. It stunned and saddened me but clearly illustrated the reality of it all. I didn't let go, but he did.
