This is exactly what I needed to read today. Thank you for sharing this Danielle and for being vulnerable with us. We are seeing our second of three off in the fall and you would think that it gets easier with each one but it doesn't. Thank you!!
Oh Danielle...my heart. I'm praying for you, sister- with every ounce of shared experience and hope for similar acceptance and joy in my being! Thank you for sharing such beautiful insights! Peace to you +
Oh dear Danielle, I want to give you a hug! You have done such a beautiful job with your family, and you raised your little chicks to fly. God bless you in this new season, and may He comfort your mama heart. [[[[HUGS]]]]
I understand how you feel! I have three in college/grad school so far. The next will be in college in a year. Once it starts, it just keeps going. You are so blessed to have grandkids! I do not see any grandkids in my near future. My boys are very focused on their studies. Hugs!
I know the grandkids are for sure a blessing. Yours will come in due time! Praying for you and your family through all of life's changes. God bless you!
Right there with you! My oldest is getting married next April and my youngest is graduating college one month later! It's exciting and wonderful and heartbreaking all at the same time.
It just doesn't seem possible that he's old enough for college now. Of course you had that grief going on in the background! It'll pop out at weird times, and other times you will enjoy the empty-nest days. In the meantime I bet you're making all his favorite dinners before he has to go eat dining hall food! Where will he be going to college?
Thank you Barb! I know you understand all of this stuff too. He'll be at Ave Maria where so many of our others have gone, and he will THRIVE (as will we)! I hope your gang is still doing well!
This was so heartfelt and poignant, Danielle. It really touched me. I'm so moved when you share your heart. Thank you for trusting us : )
Thank YOu for such sweet encouragement Julieanne! I'm so grateful for you. :)

Thank you so much Rosemary! :) <3
Ugh! Gut punch. My oldest is 14 at the end of August and I this is coming. Thank you for sharing for those of us about to walk this journey.
Thank you Mandy!
Thanks, Danielle! This will be me in a few years. I will bawl my eyes out, and stand in amazement for all God has done in my life.
Sounds like a perfect plan!
