    Sarah, thank you for your vulnerability to share this stage of parenting. We are getting ready for this just around the corner. I don't think anything can prepare you, but it is nice to know you aren't alone in the mixed emotions of proud and sad. Blessings to Belle on her journey!

      Sending those kids out into the world is very, very tough 😢❤. I only had 1, and when she left home at 16 yo, l ended up on anti-anxiety meds for 2 years and lost 65 pounds in 6 weeks due to my belly making me physically sick. I am praying for you all, and thanks for sharing this with us.

      Thank you Sarah fI'll never forget when my second child moved out 3 weeks after they graduated from high school. This child was so close with my youngest who was only 4 yrs. I remembered how I cried, And even though my child only moved a few hours away, I saw them every few months and then their job took them to be so busy. I only saw them twice a year. I can't tell you for how many years I would go and visit. And the tears would leak the whole way home. As much I am happy for this child. I so wish they would have lived closer. It's been many years and i'm still missing this particular child living close. Couple years ago my youngest moved out, I am a single parent she is my only daughter after three boys. The memory is the fun cooking together canning together oh, how I miss her. I wish when I walked through the first one moving out. Someone would have told me it was okay to grieve them moving out. I think when you don't have to hide it and I know that would have been so much better because I could have just talked my feelings. It's something we all go through in one way or another. And I think it can really be supportive to each other. I just think of the stories and the amazing experience your children are having! The stories they share and the experience and also Sarah and Solo, You have done an amazing job as parents equipped in them to do what the Lord has for them. ,I have been praying and will continually be praying. Big hugs and much love to you ❤

It doesn't seem possible that Juda and Belle are old enough to be leaving home. It seems like mine is leaving. May God bless them and use them for His glory. I know they will give him all the glory. May He bless your mama heart with peace and comfort and also Solo. Sending my love, hugs, and prayers. I watch the Papa and your brother and sister-in-law also. You are all awesome families. ❤❤

    Years ago one of my sons wanted to do a job across the country. I encouraged him to do it now because he was totally unencumbered, no spouse, no kids. Now, years later he is back having given us a wonderful grand baby.

It's amazing! You are the only constant youtube channel that I really watch on a regular basis. Anyway, more blessings to your family! 😁🙏🏼

  • @robinhumble4152
    @robinhumble4152 3 місяці тому +16

    I understand Sarah. My last flew the nest 3 years ago at the tender age of 19 1/2 when he bought a home and moved into it. That was the last of my 4 sons and it was just as hard as the first 3.
    I couldn’t understand why I was having so much trouble adjusting to not having my sons here while all my friends and colleagues talked about how wonderful it was to be empty nesters. Nobody talked about tears or missing their kids. Now that my youngest has moved out and I’m older, ( there’s quite a bit of age gap between the four of them ) I can finally hear every once in a while an emotional comment from a friend or colleague who is facing the prospect of losing a child to independence.
    Hearing you voice my thoughts and feelings out loud makes me feel so much better about myself. I still have hard days where I want them all back home because I miss them so much. I know those days are just bittersweet memories and I just need to climb in my car and go visit the ones that live close and plan a trip to go stay with the one that lives farther.
    I try to remind everyone to savor every single day with their children because you blink your eyes and they are 10 years older and so are we.
    Life goes by so fast.

    I can definitely agree that sending an adult child into the world is gut wrenching.
    My son 19 at the time signed up for the military and was gone 6months, all this during the pandemic. I cried almost every time he FaceTimed us, mostly because I missed his face and hugs ( he’s a momma’s boy). I was lucky to have very understanding family friends and customers who had been through it, so the support and encouragement that we we be okay helped.
    Best of luck to Bell, Luca and juda.
    Praying for comfort, you got this momma, you’re stronger than ever.

    The cool thing is how PROUD you are of them after they leave the nest and do so many awesome things. I think it’s especially true for those of us who have homeschooled our children, because we have spent so much time and invested our whole lives in raising them. ❤

    Having been through the separation phase, I think the tears are a mourning process for the changing role as mother (or father, etc). It's not that you don't want your child to grow up and have new experiences, the emotion for me came from processing my new relationship to my "child". On the flip side, there is an element of tears of joy at seeing your child begin to spread their wings. The pride makes my eyes leak!

    @kjohnson9116 2 місяці тому +1

    Oh Sarah - I understand how you feel and I am praying for you! I have said this so much, people don't really talk about that "sending them off" aspect of parenting. I was happy for my children, but I honestly grieved the loss of not having them all at home, under the same roof. I loved and cherished raising my children and am so, so thankful for being blessed with the gifts that are my children. Now, they are all in their 20's, healthy, happy, productive people, and although I am immensely thankful, I miss them. We are and have always been a very close family and that hasn't changed, but it felt, and sometimes still feels, unnatural when they left. You devote so much time to them and it feels like you're missing a limb when they leave. We have a different dynamic now with two 21 year olds, a 23 year old and a 26 year old. My husband and I are more like consultants now and are definitely helping them navigate through adulting. The stakes are, in some ways, higher now and we lead through prayer and just being available. Thankfully, they still need us, want us around, and really like us... and we cherish that as well because we really like them too! 😊

    I appreciate this post so much I'm commenting for the first time in the years I've watched your channel ... thank-you for sharing. I'm the mother of 6 and we are LDS. I realized after my oldest left on his 2-year mission back in 2018 that I was depressed for several weeks. I think it was particularly hard with him because it represented the "end of an era" of having all my children under one roof. So hard! Six years later, we're getting ready to send off #4 and have our three oldest living across the country at school. I'm so grateful for our weekly phone calls and it helps immensely that they're at the same University and choose to spend time together. It's great seeing them thrive! In any case, your family is beautiful. Several years ago, we were driving across the country for a family reunion and found ourselves passing through your town on a Sunday morning. We actually stopped and joined your church service. I didn't introduce myself. Your niece/nephew were being baptized that day and I didn't want to interrupt, but it was so cool seeing your oldest sing and others helping with various parts of the service and everyone was so gracious.

    I was crying right along with you! I have been there and done that same thing years ago. Now my two oldest are now 55 and 56 years old. They do come home older in a fashion and it is the way their beautiful wings spread and gain all the colors of the rainbow which leads them into a beautiful future! The experiences they have are amazing, all good we pray and their excitement for adventure and learning starts to form a lifestyle at times. I find that they return different yet have retained all these years of how they grew up at the basic style of how their lives have played out. Life is beautiful and you and Solo have raised and are raising a beautiful family, each one with their own path in the future and I know they will be so proud and grateful that they had such a wonderful mom and dad who gave them the best start in life they could have had. Usually the apples don't fall too far from the tree and the phrase goes.
    God bless you all and know part of you is always with her and part of her is always with you........forever more!
    Now at 77 with 8 grands and 2 great grands I see my children going through what you as well are going through......life's passage.

    We all know it will come on day, but it doesn’t make it any easier to see your kids grow up and leave our safe arms. You have had three to spread their wings in one year and we see your heart be proud and also be sad to see them go. My heart goes out to you and your family. We are praying for a wonderful adventure for them and a speedy return to their family’s safe home. Hugs to you and the family.

    My daughter moved out last year at 26yrs old and I cried a lot. She told me later that she stayed so long because she didn’t want me to be sad. My sons 24 and 21 still home and hope they stay forever. I love my kids being home I feel like they’re safe at home. Ik they will wanna leave one day but it’s hard to let them go.

    I'm used to goodbyes, but only coming from being a daughter, sister, or aunt. Goodbyes as a mother is still instore for me. I grew up as a missionary kid in Africa and now a wife of a missionary. Goodbyes never get easier but I've found until we meet again has. Thank you for yoυr openness and how you are living with the change. You encouraged me today especially when you prayed together at the airport (we've always done that too.) The reminder to give and leave everything over to the Lord is needed in every phase of life, thank you! We also woυld wait to watch the plane take off. I was the baby in the family so for me there was silence in the car. I LOVED hearing all the young/little voices saying "Bye Belle!" So special!!! Prayers to you all!

    When I was 20 I went and lived in China for 6 months by myself. I was helping m.ss.ries over there set up their business. I loved it! My parents cried in the airport. I was a little scared to be honest, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything! :) before that I had traveled shorter time periods to other countries as well, but that was the longest.

    I had four kids two girls and two boys. I cried a lot when they started to leave home. It was hard as a single parent to cope with. But I am through to the other side now and have two sons married and 4 grandchildren and I wouldn't change it for the world. Thank you for sharing and you have a wonderful family 💖

    I appreciate you talking about it. I have a 9 & 4 year old boy. My husband and I talk a lot about breaking the idea of 18 and out. I love that you guys support your children and would have them back in your home into adulthood. ❤ I love that it’s in their hearts to go serve and spread the Gospel!!!

    • @MissingMayberry
      @MissingMayberry 3 місяці тому

      Just to add- I feel like it’s a super westernized idea about the 18 and out. My husband lived in Italy for 6 years and served 3 tours over seas and said that other countries just aren’t like that! I would have never known.

    Sending the first into the world is hard. Each one after that is easier in some ways but also more emotional. You know how much you will miss them and home much they will change. You want all that but also the marching on of time is bittersweet. You are doing great Sarah!

    I am so glad I stumbled on this today! You are so right! It’s sooo hard sending off your teens especially when they start traveling. There needs to be more support for us moms sending off our kids at this time of life. You are so helpful! Many moms are in the same boat. While we are excited for them it is a sad time. We are mourning their moving on from childhood.

    What amazing opportunities for the kids…honestly I think it would way more crazy to not be sad! It’s a true bittersweet moment of life. It’s everything you have sowed…beginning to bloom. This mom completely understands…when my oldest left for the summer to do the Disney Exchange program I was equally shattered, proud and terrified. ❤️🙏 Sending all the love to you all.
