Letting go is challenging
Adult children
Children with children
Invariably on my mind
Confronted with life’s struggles
Guidance provided - followed or ignored
Meaningful lessons are learned through experience
This I must remind myself
As they endeavor to find their way

We do our best teaching them the basics. The rest is up to them to figure it out. Always hoping they get the lessons. I know what you mean. Lovely. Blessings.

Do you think “The Thinker” was worring about his adult children or wondering who stole his beach towel.
