Missing Ben-They Never Said Being A Mom Would Be Easy

How do you get on with life when your son isn't around anymore?  I know that he's fine and in Texas, it's not like he died or anything, but I miss him.  I miss his face, and hugs.  He's making it out there being married but he's so far away.  I know that's a good thing.  He has to go and do what we raised him to do.  It doesn't make having him gone any easier.

I talk to him, text him, Facebook with him, but it's hard to fill the void of no one in his room when I want to talk to him and just check on how he's doing.  Not having him physically here is harder than I thought it would be.  I thought the hardest part of this was the 'good-bye' at the house when we left.  That's nothing compared to this.

I know I will get used to it.  I know I don't have to like it.  I know that God will take care of him and me too.  But for right now I miss him terribly.  We will see him and Rachel for Thanksgiving which is something to look forward to.  That will keep my going I suppose.  Being a mom is the hardest job I've ever done.  I love being a mom even with all of the upset, tears, pain and frustrations.  There's no where I'd rather be than Ben and Sarah's Mom.

Blessing of the Day: I got some quiet time with God.
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
