My thoughts on Lisa's (swimchica) 24th birthday
Jun 23rd, 2009 at 10:24pm
 
Lisa turned 24 today. It was a quiet day and I suprised her with a small dinner party with her friends tonight. All day I have been thinking about how fast the time went and all of her struggles to get her where she is today. I can't beleive she is done with college and in 7 weeks will REALLY be leaving home to go off to a real job. I wouldn't trade the opportunity to be Lisa's mother for al the money in the world. Cat posted this next part on the thread about daughters. She really couldn't have put it better. Enjoy your little ones while you have them and savor those teen years.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!!

despite the trials that teenagers put their parents through, they also go through a magical transformation during this phase.  You get to sit back and watch as they become a real person; their own person.  All the years of patching up skinned knees (band aids are a parents best friend) and hugs while they shed tears of disappointment, frustration and heart break, culminate in the rebellious teen years - the years when failure becomes their teacher.  At that point you have already imparted all the lessons of value you can - they know right from wrong, and they are testing the waters as their own person.  It's an amazing feeling as they go from being totally dependent on you for everything, to discovering they can do it themselves (except the money thing - not sure when that ends LOL).

It is all worth it, there are no words to describe the value of the friendship you can foster with your children as they work their way through their teen years

Charlotte,

My hat's off to you.  Well done...  I know you done a lot more mothering than most.  Fledging happens sooner or later...  Having a job is a great start..

I missed a Skype call from Lisa today so please wish her a Happy Birthday from the two of us.

Love, Pete & Joyce

You love lots of things if you live around them. But there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, that’s as lovely as a great airplane. If it's a beautiful fighter, your heart will be ever there

Happy birthday Lisa, either you have aged too fast or I have known you for a lot longer than I thought.
