Part of me wants to scream "Who housed you in her body for 9 months, gave birth, quite painfully might I add, to you and nursed you through countless sleepless nights? Is this the person you are now leaving in the dust????" But, then again, I gained so much understanding from reading Dobson's book, Bringing Up Boys and even more insight from Wild at Heart by John Eldredge... boys need their daddys in oder to learn how to become men. Our letting go is very instrumental in that... and very difficult. Be ever so grateful that your husband is not only present, but a good role model that is deeply involved and let the empty arms ache in a good way. Anything worth doing usually comes with a price. <BR/><BR/>Do me a favor? Remind me of all this next week or month when I am feeling the same thing after my boys cry when they have to ride home from church with mommy instead of daddy...
