It worried me as well. Being a mother of two boys though, one a 15 year old, I had some insight into how boys think. My coping mechanism was to invite him into our home and get to know him. Nearly one year later I know him very well and think he is a lovely young man. I no longer worry as much and trust they will both make sensible decisions.fabric epiphanieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315635356310954354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130827602574940223.post-46328400951028775442015-02-24T22:36:54.975-05:002015-02-24T22:36:54.975-05:00Susan, I think its called freedom with control. O...Susan, I think its called freedom with control. Oxymoron, I know, but that is how it needs to be for young folks learning to be independent. They need the freedom while also knowing you are the one who is ultimately in control. Some folks call it security. She is a doll and yes, this may be hardest phase of being a parent, yet it will also bring many blessings.Elizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130827602574940223.post-25895501344752041742015-02-24T21:15:51.618-05:002015-02-24T21:15:51.618-05:00Dearest Susan,

It is scary but you did the right thing by building a sturdy foundation and with that, Izzy will always find her way back to her warm and loving NEST; if ever needed for advice or support. It is oh so scary to see the years tick by that fast! <br />Sending you hugs and stay warm!<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130827602574940223.post-53777933231333598902015-02-24T10:41:17.342-05:002015-02-24T10:41:17.342-05:00I think letting go and trusting them ( in a totall...I think letting go and trusting them ( in a totally different sense) is so hard in todays world, I mean we trust them but we do not trust life. We want to shelter them from growing up to fast, from getting hurt by life, from seeing bad things but ultimately we have to trust that we brought them up right and they will be fine ( and we will always be there when they need us)A Labour of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304618014183187948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130827602574940223.post-5450991084523902412015-02-24T09:41:51.359-05:002015-02-24T09:41:51.359-05:00Oh mon ami .... remember what an amazing MOTHER (a...Oh mon ami .... remember what an amazing MOTHER (and Daddy) you are ... how you have instilled independence and good judgement in your children by example. Izzy is smart and will make the right choices - if she is unsure of something or not comfortable - remember that you have raised her with unconditional love and SHE WILL turn to you and seek guidance. I can't imagine what's its like to be in your shoes ( this I know - my little girl has 4 legs and will always be with me ..lol) But I can offer a ear to listen and a glass (or bottle) of bubbly to calm the the nerves ... hope to see you soon... hugs, Celia M.
