Very creative Kim, kind of a metaphor too for when we have to nudge our children to leave home. Lovely!

It is a difficult task, I think most intensely felt by a mother.

Thank you for your comment, Eileen! I'm sorry your daughter won't be able to be home for Christmas. My eldest son has been in Korea for the past year and will be home on Dec. 21st. His wife and kids are so excited! My husband and I are, too, but his coming home means they will all be moving far away from us soon.
