We do our best to raise them with good morals, good decision making skills, and to be independent - now is the time to let them try their wings.

This is what our job is - to raise them to be able to continue on with their own life and families.

And wasn't it fun? Yes! Challenging, yes. Wanted to kill them sometimes? Yes! But now you have whole new adventures to watch them experience - more from the sidelines than from a coaching standpoint, but you'll be there, nonetheless.

You did good, mom.
