Well, my youngest got married over the weekend. I guess I no longer "own" any of my kids! Our house will no longer smell of too much cologne, and we will no longer be awakened all hours of the night by doors opening and shutting, microwave going on and off, and lights being turned on, off, on, off. (My sleep patterns may just improve!) I missed my daughter when she married and left, and I will miss my son as well. It's not like they moved hours away from us, but it's different anyway. I no longer hold the same "mom" power - must learn to hold my tongue! When my daughter got married, it was totally "our" deal. We did all the planning, preparation, decoration, etc. I tend to take hold and run with everything, so it was hard to step back and know that I was only "helping out" someone else on this one. But the highlight was the mother-son wedding dance. We managed to keep it a secret from everyone but my husband and my daughter, and although I seem to have lost my "groove" over the years, it was still a big hit! The link to the youtube video is at the top. And I hope my son will remember the fun we had doing it.
