Summer is over.
School is starting.
Which means it is time for Zach to leave, and go back to his dad’s house.
Far, far away.
Having Zach here for the entire summer was fantastic.
So many laughs.
So many memories made.
Sometimes being a mom really hurts.
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven… A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
Oh, big {{{{HUGS}}}} to you my friend! This must be so very hard right now.
Hang on to those precious memories you all made together this summer!! They will get you through 'til the next time!!
And a pint of Ben & Jerry's can't hurt either 😉
OH…I cannot even imagine how heart-wrenching it is to say good-bye to him! Hoping you have peace.
I've been reading for a short while now, but after such a tender post I had to 'comment' and tell you I'll be praying for you during this heart-wrenching next few weeks.

that verse has always been one of my favorites. It's so simple and true. Thank you for reminding me of it. I think I'll steal it for my blog header if you don't mind.
Hugs to you, Stefanie!
So did the girls come knocking down the door on your house? He is such a cutie pie.
Praying for your Momma's heart when you put your big boy on a plane to head far, far away. Oh this just made me so sad…
Oh my heart is hurting for you.
I know you cherish those memories made this summer.
Blessings,
Jennifer

Thinking of you and how hard it must be to say goodbye to your beautiful son. I bet all the other kiddos will miss him very much, too.
Sending MOM HUGS to you! Being a Mom is one of the most rewarding, but sometimes hardest job there is!

Oh Stef ~ I'm SO sorry your mama heart is aching! Thinking of you as you say your 'farewells' to your adorabley handsome Zach! He sure is growing…what a nice looking young man he has become. Hang in there, take a long bubble bath and some soft praise music to help sustain the broken heart.
God bless you Sweet Friend…and happy, safe travels to Zach.
