It is something i have struggled with so much. i'm not a clingy physical person and sometimes their constant need to touch me, for me to sit next to them whilst they play and not leave the room without wails makes me want to scream in frustration. and yet those times will be soon gone and i know I will miss them. i know the day i open my arms and my children con't come running into them will be a ridiculously sad and bitter day. .-= Heather´s last post ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NotesFromLapland/~3/wrCt9n4Yx5U/what-do-you-think-of-vlogging.html" rel="nofollow">What Do You think Of Vlogging?</a> =-.

Some nights I am just so "touched out" that I glare at my husband if he comes near me once all the boys are (finally) asleep! But, as I feel my oldest start to ever so slowly move away from the clinginess, my heart aches. Amen!

Sometimes I think about this whenever I see my mom and I realize how much she truly gave for me. Saw your tweet about writing to work, too. What a wonderful decision. I'm all for the letter writing in how much it can help ourselves, too. Katie Beautiful post, Amber! Sometimes I think about this whenever I see my mom and I realize how much she truly gave for me.
