Merideth, what a beautiful piece of music and a heart full, love soaked piece of writing. Letting go is hard, even after they grow up and have kids of their own. Beautifully written and deeply felt. Thank you for sharing.

Timely post for me. I read this right after I found former writings in my computer along a similar theme: dying to my ambitions and expectations concerning my writer’s path. Thank you!

There was so much synchronicity about the timing of this one! Glad it resonated.

Wow! Thank you for sharing this - I sent it to my daughter, who just had our first grandchild. The way you express your thoughts is amazing and I could so relate to your story. Thank for sharing!

Love, Leslie

Merideth thank you for persevering and writing this beautiful piece. I am at the other end of parenting and learning again the need to let go. May your words be a blessing to those who read.
