Andy is going off soon... in another week or so... he received an acceptance letter yesterday and will be leaving immediately after chinese new year. In less than 2 weeks, I will be taking him away from our home to his new place, a place where he might be spending 5 years or so...
It suddenly dawned upon me that once my kids turn 18, they will not be staying in the same house with me anymore....
Once they turn 18, they are out on their own...
Once they are out on their own, they will be having their own lives...
Once they have their own lives, I will not see them as often as before....
I guess it is time ..
Time to let them go
Time to say I miss them so
Time to wave and say goodbye
Time to leave their "nests" and fly................

Hi Reanaclaire,
ReplyDeleteWhere we love is home,
Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.
Let your warmth and tears be the reward of how well you have loved and cared for your children, thru thick and thin. Thru cloudy or rainy days, thru sunshine, and the love only a mother can give.
Yes, it is that time you now have to let go....
But...your children will know and remember...
their Mom is a never ending song in their hearts of comfort, happiness and being.
They may sometimes forget the words, but they will always remember the tune.
And Reanaclaire, remember...
A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best. But his mother....the longest.
Have a pleasant week and best wishes to your son. Lee.
there comes a day where all of us would be having our own lives. have to be prepared for it. heart breaking....that's why I'm still in my hometown. near to my mom. :)
ReplyDeletethose are very sweet words, U Lee and Calvin... love wife the best, love mum the longest.. and hope they have a part of us in them..
ReplyDeleteDon't worry...u still can give him a call to hear his voice ma ^.^
ReplyDeleteI left for Russia when I was 18 too, for 6 1/2 years and now I'm still in Russia. It sounds long but I return for summer holidays every year :)
ReplyDeleteTime passes very quickly. Home is where the heart is and don't you worry. Your son has them all in the right place, especially for you.
It's hard to bid farewell, after all these years...I understand, I really do. Then again, looking at a better perspective, they have made you proud by being good, obedient and healthy men, that's what matters most!
ReplyDelete:) dun worry, kl is not that far from ipoh. can always go back during weekend. besides, now also got 3 G ad, can see one another often also. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah.. now got webcam, 3G.. only that house will be more quiet.. and sometimes need some taller ppl in the house, also cannot get.. esp in technical stuff.. wow.. so much to think of.. better leave that aside now ..
ReplyDeleteall the best, claire.
ReplyDeleteyou have done a admirable job of raising a kid right. :)
THANKS all of u.. i hope i do..but i dont think i deserve the credit.. it is with God's grace that pulls us through these years.. Credit goes to Him.. anytime...
ReplyDeleteah,the next phase of life for them and u. and next, its working time, which they may come back or stay on :) (am learning how a mum feels via yr post. thanks for the share)
ReplyDeletei guess it is a cycle of life.. our parents brought us up and we lead our own lives now.. it is the same with our kids later on.. and then it goes on and on..
ReplyDeleteyou remind me of my Mum.. perhaps she felt the same when we started leaving our home to explore our dreams..
