and just like that…

they’re gone.

The time went way, way too fast.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be curled up on the couch. Sucking my thumb.

This mama does not do well on days like this.

    Awwww, I'm sorry. It all flies by too fast, doesn't it? Take your time grieving it – the real life of routine and structure will hit soon enough. Happy New Year and I'll pray for you today.

    Sending HUGS, it is so sad to say goodbye to our big kiddos. I remind myself to be happy for them they have a successful life on their own! It's okay to curl up and miss them…

    I don't blame you. I don't even want to THINK about my baby (who is still a baby) being all grown up and leaving me.
    Hang in there. I know it can't be easy!

    Oh, Stefani…I can't imagine how sad you are to see them go. Olivia is still of the mind that she wants to live with me forever, but I know that will change someday. I don't look forward to it! Make Daddy give you extra hugs today!
