Mom today seems to be one of those days when I wish that you were here to give me some parental advice. I would look to you as someone wise with all the right answers. Do I just sit back and let them live their own lives and make their own choices, even though I know that the choices they are making are the wrong ones. When I try to intervene, they shun me and give me the silent treatment. Don’t they realize that I only have their best interest at heart? I would never do anything to harm them; I just want them to get along. When I voice this, it’s as though I’ve put a dagger through their hearts.
Mother…what would you have told me to do?
I know, you would have told me to stand back and let them make their own choices in life. And reminded me that
God has a plan for them.

I'm glad they made it home safely.

Hopefully they will discover their own path sooner than later, and appreciate the lessons they have learned to use them while walking on those rocky roads.
