    Oh geeze my momma heart feels for you. I can not even think about the kids getting old enough to get out of the house. My oldest of 6 is 15 and I want to cry just think of her starting to drive. God Bless you all in this season of change. Many prayers sent to you. ❤

    Mine are in their late 20s and early 30s. It is bittersweet, but grandkids help. I had to keep telling myself that my purpose is to raise productive adults. It wasn't to keep them babies no matter how much I wanted to. It is hard, but watching them come into their own is a great thing, too.

    Happy Birthday Dad of the year! God bless you with many more! Solo reminds me of my Father. He is so patient and such a hard worker. My Daddy loved Jesus and his family. He was such a giver And he had a little African heritage. Children leaving home is hard and we cried every time one of them left. Thankfully they all serve the Lord. My oldest daughter and her husband pastor a church and two of their girls are in missions. We’re blessed.

    Happy Birthday Solo! 🎂 As the momma of 10 (4 teenagers), I see how life changes as the kids get older. You are a few years a head of me, but I am already feeling the sadness/happiness of them creating their own lives. It's a bittersweet moment, but makes you proud when you see the great adults they are becoming. Many blessings to you from Texas! ♥♥♥

    Sarah my 4 daughters started college last fall and although they are only 40 mins away it is still so hard and we dont see them every weekend. My son is in high-school and he is the only one still at home. I don't think it gets easier you just learn to adapt. The goal is to raise them up right and send them off even though your mama heart hurts. Hang in there, you got this!🤗

Keep your chin up!! You know she’ll be fine!! And thank God for the technology we have now!!! Aw GO BELLE GO!!!! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOLO!!!!!!!

You are raising wonderful adult children and I know that you must be very proud of them and thankful for them.

My Pastors wife told me a long time ago when I was worried about nieces and nephews...she said " oh Sugar...( her love language) don't you know that Holy Spirit is the best babysitter?!" When I dropped my nephew off at College 17 yrs later...I cried all the way home and then remembered her words. I pray the Shalom of God over all of you. Awesome job Mom and Dad and Grandparents! P..S. everyone needs to buy your book!

Lifting sweet Belle in prayer as well , that the Lord will equip her as she goes to serve .

    And Sarah, my eldest is almost 27yrs old. She has a home with her partner here in England. They have lived together for 2yrs so far and I miss her so much still, and only live a few miles away. I don’t think you ever think of your children any differently. They’re always your babies 💜

    As a child who's parent anticipated my departure with great enthusiasm, I witnessed other friend's parents who were sad to see their child leave the nest, and wondered which one was normal. Now that I'm a parent myself and seeing other healthy families who also want to freeze time and enjoy every minute they have with their children, I know that this is God's heart! Not that we stop or hinder their growth, but that we redeem the time and appreciate every moment that we have together in this season of our lives!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    Happy Birthday Solo - the cow patties will grow greener grass this summer - this is the reason farmers spread it with a harrow so it is evenly spread - the other way is to put the chickens behind (after) the cows as they eat the patties and leave behind nitrogen deposits - those temperatures is a normal winter day were I live in New Zealand
