(I had to add the real because giving birth does not necessarily make you a mother) No, that happens when you hold the hand of your married daughter who has just been told her husband wants a divorce and you know you can't do a thing, or listen to her cry when she discovers you are not going to live forever. May all the women who read this blog roar with you, Liz, and may they all understand women who are real mothers are the reason this earth has lasted for these thousands and thousands of years.

But like most women, she's strong and she's bounced back. I admire her so much.

My daughter graduated from high school last year, and has been away at school this year and I have found myself at times wishing I could be there for her, just to help ease her through something...but this is her time to learn to stand, and my time to learn to stand back and let her be strong...but it's oh so hard! I loved the post.

I still want to protect her from all hurt and failure, but I know I can't. I'm getting better at keeping my "advice" to myself, but I can't turn off the fears. She lives in a huge, crime-ridden city, takes long road trips in her tiny, old car, and generally lives her life - which is what I want her to do. But it isn't easy being a mother.Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-46631013543790751312014-06-02T11:45:26.435-04:002014-06-02T11:45:26.435-04:00You sure can't.

She said she was afraid if she had, I might not have had kids. Being unable to stop their hurt is right at the top of the list of fears, and it's one you just can't avoid.Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-59649529189023501562014-06-02T11:43:31.123-04:002014-06-02T11:43:31.123-04:00Sweet, my friend!
