Saying 'Goodbye'...For A Little While

Oh dear...I love all of my nieces and nephews so much. It's such a delight to watch them discover, learn and grow. As they get older, though, a challenge enters...letting them leave for those grander adventures.

It's the crazy thing about love. In the same powerful moment, we can experience the deep sadness of "goodbye" and the grand excitement of "have the time of your life"...all at the same time. 

And this Auntie...well, I find it to be so hard every time.
