Being a mama is hard.
Tomorrow, Lucy leaves to start a new phase in her life. She will move to Ottawa, make wedding plans with her beloved.
I have discovered, with these two daughters getting married that there is a lot more empty cupboard space. That was an unexpected byproduct.
I have given what I have to give in this stage of life, and I do not know what the next stage holds, for me to give or receive. We packed all day. She packed; I was merely moral support. I made moderately helpful suggestions for packing and for her life. It was a symbiotic relationship. I got to mother her for the better part of the day. She had company for all the packing.
I will miss her.
Being a mama is hard.
I highly recommend it.
