I heard Michael Douglas, the talk show host that recently passed away sing this song when I was MAYBE 10, which would be 40 years ago, and that song has remained in my heart since the one and only time that I heard it. I wish this song could become famous again as it has soooo much meaning....

A few months ago, I was still pouring my daughter's milk for her and tonight, she cut up her chicken, rinsed her plate and helped load the dishwasher. My son plows the driveway and shows me how to fix glitches on the computer.

I'm not ready for her to be a young woman leaving the nest yet. I know it goes by quickly (for example: when did I grow to be old enough to have children? How is it that some of my age peers have kids entering their teen years...or in their teen years?) I'm looking forward to knowing my two babies as young women, but not quite yet! I want a little more time to cuddle and kiss them...I'm not too clingy myself to let them go when the time is right, but it's still hard to think about.<BR/><BR/>Great post!

Who wrote it? Where is it from?<BR/><BR/>This post really hit me in the heart. At times I'm so frustrated with my "not normal, but not in a bad way" child's clinginess and dependence. I find myself longing for the time when he exhibits a little independence, fer Pete's sake. And yet, when he does--like last week at the park when (all by himself!) he walked over to the concession stand and confidently purchased snowcones for his sister and himself--it throws me a little off balance; like expecting another step when I've reached the bottom of a stairway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
