So much yes!! My oldest, Adara, turns 15 in less than 2 months. And I still share these feelings on a daily basis. It’s both too much and not enough and everything I have ever wanted and nothing I expected. Holding the dialectics of parenting has been the journey of a thousand lifetimes already, and I’d say it only becomes MORE as they grow. More full, more joyous, more difficult and more ease. Thanks for sharing and writing! ♥️
Thank you for reading! I know you're right that it will become MORE and at the same time, cannot understand how that is possible. The ways time, space, and energy have expanded and shifted to contain the new multitudes of her life folding into ours continues to amaze me.
