Lonely Arms and Empty Rooms

Hugs Ann thank you so much ... I have four children and a very proud mother I am .. Though my children arent babies anymore :( (I LOVE babies) LOL I sometimes wish I could turn the clock back and watch it all again like the watching of a favourite movie ... I have sung all my life and performed but nothing compares to being a parent of all the gifts god gave me the most precious was becoming a mother , they all have little quirks as they grow up all the little nuances that remind me of myself or their father .. I have three boys and about 20 adopted sons that continually hang round my house after school and at weekends and one daughter who I can proudly call my best friend .... My second son goes away to the army in six months .. so I guess it was with that in mind that this got writen .. lol 2nd but biggest hes 6'6 and still growing .. The saddest part of being a parent is in the letting go ... I have two left at high school and I'm savouring the last few years before they head off to uni ... So I guess im a little whimsical about them at the moment but all in all I am going to miss them when they do leave .... lonely arms and empty rooms a houseful I hope im a good parent but like anyone even parents make mistakes .. Ann im so glad you enjoyed this one to be honest I didnt expect a review of this one ... thank you :) Love and light Always JayC x x

Thanks so much Julie ... It does get scary im 39 my children are 20 , 19 , 16 , 15 the last two are like twins they were born so close together lol ... I fought with my second son for a year to make him finish his higher studies LOL .. And it was worth all the tears (from me) the Its my life (from him) ... When he finished year 12 last year he came to me and thanked me for making him stay .. He is now getting ready for uni and the army and I couldn't be more proud of him hes been working since he finished school as well ... I am very strict with the kids but it is worth it they understand more now that all the boundaries I put up for them over the years were to guide and to keep them safe NOT because I wanted to control their lives There are times I give in against better judgement but so far my guardian angel has watched over them for me ... Unfortunatly you can't be with them every step of the way ... but you can make their first steps safe ones and make sure they understand how the world and people work .. thats all you can do and pray for the best .. Enjoy them while they are little they don't stay like that huni ... I am so glad you liked this one it was for all mum's with older kids leaving the nest .. much love JayC x x

Awww thank you so much ... You never do stop worrying do you ? I thought when my oldest turned 20 and started maturing that it would be less of a worry ... but I never have , it got worse ... I think you can only do your best Richard and unfortunatly they have to make their own roads .. As Julie said it's scary but we can't lock them in the celler can we ... can we ?? lol nice thought but they would kick my butt ... they are bigger than me now .. Love JayC x
