Give yourself a pat on the back, you did good!! :)
Thats how i feel. when my first baby got on the bus for pre-school, i think i was the only mom who didn't cry. she said to me "see you later mommy"! little miss indepentent! i was so proud! the only time i cried was when we dropped my son off to go to boot camp. and it had nothing to do with the war or whatever was going on..it was because it dawned on me, that he was a "Man" now..not my youngest child..the baby of the family was on his way to the start of his life!
Oh, i gained a sewing room when they were all gone!
:thumbup:
ya sound normal to me! how proud you must be!
i think maybe people around me think i am cold..but i am just different. i gave my kids over to Him long ago.
