Our children are tied to our heartstrings, and we have to cut them loose. Our son (our youngest) is away at college, and I still get teary-eyed when he comes to visit and then drives off to go back to college. I'm happy for him, we're so proud of him, but yet sometimes I miss him so much that my heart aches. I have to turn it over to God! (I go to a lady doctor whose son just went off to college, too. She said it felt like her heart was ripped out.) So, I sympathize with you!! :) It is not easy being a mother. Our children are tied to our heartstrings, and we have to cut them loose.

Take comfort in the fact that you have trained him well and now become part of the support system that will help this couple have a successful marriage.

Missing the little things, yes, and waiting for the sound of the door assuring you your loved one is safe. As a Grandma, far away from the action, I still miss my "little boy" and worry when I know he and his family are on the road and possibly in a traffic jam, snowstorm or worse. That's when I have to "give it up" to One Who really is in charge. Hang in there, Mom. Love you all and best wishes to the young family. It never gets easy … letting go.
