A knife stabbed my mother’s heart. Dear Jesus, please don’t ever let my sweet infant grow to be that old. Of course, I wanted my baby to grow and be strong and healthy, but I didn’t want her to grow. Didn’t want her to ever change from Johnson-and-Johnson fresh to anything else. Now my little girl is sporting an engagement ring, and I said the words, you know which ones I mean, to a mom with little girls. It goes so fast. She looked at me with horror and tucked her girls behind her legs. I could see it in her eyes, Dear Jesus, please don’t let my girls ever be old enough to be engaged. Why this pain? I was shoveling the driveway yesterday and talking to God about this. Why does it hurt, Lord, to let our little ones grow and change and leave our cozy homes? ~ Christy Fitzwater You can read Christys lovely answer on the blog today! club31women/2014/01/pain-letting-children-grow/
