I'm coming to terms with it.
It's taking a while.
I blogged about it
Then I panicked a bit
And edited it out
But
The truth is
Letting go of emotions
Is not as easy
As pressing
The delete button
It's not every day
Your baby boy
Your eldest son
Your pride and joy
Elopes
Your eldest son
Your pride and joy
Elopes
So many emotions
I remind myself
To keep it in perspective
Of all the worries
A mother has
For her child
Elopement
Is the least of them.
Well, that would be a shock! But what a confident, loving man you have nurtured...a man with the confidence to elope with the love of his life & who knows the support you will always give him! The shock will pass...you wrote this blog beautifully!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh -- it will be okay. Very well put. Hang in there. (My boy is heading off to college in the Fall, I'm hoping all will be well). I guess the worrying never ends.
ReplyDeleteI commented on your last post about elopement - my brother did it too and I know how my Mum felt about it (worried he was doing the right thing mostly, but he is still happily married 9 years later). Hope all is well and you are feeling a little happier about it now. x
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful way to think about it! It's so true though. Not something to worry about in the big scheme of things:)
