Letting Go
It is hard for a parent to let their children go. You want to keep and protect them for the rest of their lives, but there comes a time in their life you must let them go. As much as we would like to give our children advice on choosing a mate, we must abide by their own selections and hope they have given careful consideration to the matter of marriage.
As a parent, you worry about the happiness and well being of your child. Will he make her happy? Will he be good to her? Will he protect her? Will he provide for her? Will he always be there for her? What parents should hope for are kids that take their relationships seriously, who value communication, honesty and trust and who love their partners.
My worries have been put to ease with the choice Danielle has made in Will. Some things are just meant to be together, like peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, popcorn and pizza; it's hard to have one without the other. Each can be enjoyed separately, but when combined, you know you have a perfect match.
This is how I feel about Danielle and Will.
So I say good bye to Danielle Bemis, a princess, and say hello to Danielle McCambridge, a Queen, as she is at the end of one chapter in life and the beginning of a new chapter.
I love you my darling daughter.
Tearing up over here; what a beautiful post
