I've had an empty nest for years and I still cry. I still miss my children, when they were little, when they were teens and older. I don't miss the rebellions or clashes over boys or girls and clothes. I love who they are today and I love my grandchildren, but I still cry! No one who knows me would think of me as a crier but I am... a closet crier who can't keep it in the closet at these events. I foresee gentle tears on your cheeks Ms. Booshay!

The problem with ...Congratulations to dear Katie! <br /><br />The problem with tears is that you can't *make* yourself cry this afternoon and drain the reservoir so it's empty tonight. <br /><br />I think the best thing is to restrict nostalgic thoughts until you are in a safe place to cry. We moms are reviewing the swift passage of time, the sweet memories, feeling proud of the child walking by us. <br /><br />It might help to remember the student's viewpoint: I'm done! Hooray! Let's party! They won't be crying.

Picture a few softly flowing tears and you dabbing delicately at your eyes. Nothing wrong with that picture!<br /><br />Best of luck tonight! It must be emotional to have such a long relationship -- with the school, teachers and classmates -- come to an end. Bravo on a job well done, sweet Katie!

You are to be proud of all you've done for her, and with her. For all your children, Donna. You've got such a wonderful legacy...<br /><br />I cry today, too, for my oldest son, who is rebelling. He just graduated, but only very resistantly walked with his class, and donned the cap and gown. He is not kind with his words or deeds, and is full of angst and anger. Unfortunately, I am the target, and while I know it's a time of transition, my heart can't help but be heavy and hurt by his actions. So, I will cry with you for what was, what is, and what will be...<br /><br />So very grateful that my heart rests in Jesus. I"d be otherwise lost....<br /><br />mary e. from wheatonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-75292813623687687212014-05-30T10:44:20.528-05:002014-05-30T10:44:20.528-05:00Sweet!

My aunt is a pyschotherapist and told me once that putting your tongue flat across the roof of your mouth can help calm anxiety...I think my mint trick is related to that somehow. I'm in a similar boat today -- saying goodbye our beloved school here in Austin.
