I love this. And this feeling has been on my mind a lot lately... looking forward to the time I'll have to myself in a few years when my youngest goes to school... but then I feel sad when I think about that. And missing her chubby cheeks and chubby hand that she asks me to hold when we walk. Thanks for this story.

Thank you, Stacy! I really appreciate you reading and am so glad you enjoyed it! Yes that tension between the good parts of letting them go and the tug at your heart is really something, isn’t it?
