Son moving away

[IronMaiden]

Thank you everyone - they left, I cried, we hugged and no doubt it won’t be the end of my tears , but even I know it’s all about letting go and allowing them to do what they need to do………….

Hello, dear lady. Maybe it's not really about letting go; you will never let your beloved boy go, just as God never lets His children go. You will always have him in your heart. I pray God will give you and your son many opportunities for special little talks over the phone and mail. God bless you and strengthen you.

Well My son and daughter in law are settling in to life in Northern Ireland -they are expecting snow next week ( so jealous as we don’t get that much where I am now ). The children have been to their new nursery and school, and they both really settled well. One thing, the school is a Christian one , and so they have spoken to my son and daughter about that side of things - my son made a point of telling me. He is on the fence with regards to spiritual things, so I am praying that God will use this new environment as there are many Christians within My daughter in laws family, and they all live near to one another.
I still get moments of sadness, but just lately I have been missing my mum and dad and I will be scattering my dad’s ashes this coming week. I keep getting memories of the 70’s triggering, you know when you hear something and It connects with something deep inside- all linked to wonderful memories of Christmas. The 70’s were my favourite era x
This time last year I was moving and retiring, what a blessing this past year has been and I absolutely adore living next door to my daughter.
Anyway, thought I would just share how things are xx

Sorry I was late @Rita. I pray you and your family are blessed by God.

Hi Everyone,
Wonder if you could pray for me over the next few days. My middle son and his family are moving from the U.K. to Northern Ireland, and I have to say goodbye to them tomorrow. Dave has always been my gentle giant ( well I am small in height and he is tall !! lol ) Always there to give me a hug when my world has fallen apart, and it has many times. In terms of distance, and compared to how far many from the US have to travel, he isn’t really going that far , but for me its a flight away, rather than just a 45 min car journey.
Not many around me understand the emotion that I am feeling , all I know is that I am an emotional wreck and just don’t know how I will face the moment when I have to actually say goodbye.
Many thanks xx

That has to be hard. But it will be good for him, and you raised him in Christ so he will be okay mama. God bless you
