[quote=Anonymous]The paradox of parenthood: we love watching them grow up while desperately wishing they would stop doing that. We devote our lives to getting them to the point of moving out on their own and going their own way when really we just want them to stay forever. It's hard. I get teary eyed whenever someone talks or posts about their child graduating high school. I remember my mom crying and not getting it because it was so expected that it didn't seem like a huge accomplishment. I get it now. It wasn't just pride; it was grief over what was ending. [/quote]
