Every time we go to see my in-laws up in Iowa, my mother-in-law greets us by saying "Welcome home!" And I never even lived in that town - lol! I feel the tug of my roots in Cincinnati more than anywhere else.Kim Woltermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069733924455552857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5065198779769921744.post-33793529870771735112013-06-18T19:55:30.388-05:002013-06-18T19:55:30.388-05:00Yesterday, I watched a mama bird urging her baby t...Yesterday, I watched a mama bird urging her baby to fly. He sat like he was rooted to the decorative beam over the entrance of our office building. Mama fluttered around him with no success in budging him; then she finally bowled into him a couple of times. <br /><br />I could almost hear her saying, "Get out there and fly! You are meant to fly! (And to gather your own worms, you lazy bum.)" <br /><br />He didn't want to, but he finally did. And sometimes we don't want them to leave, but they do, taking an invisible root with them to guide them "home." <br /><br />You and Jim are great parents to have raised such independent, confident kids, who will always need you in their own ways..... <br />Mrs. Wrylyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882079722798133254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5065198779769921744.post-64086988918614143392013-06-17T23:06:33.443-05:002013-06-17T23:06:33.443-05:00Amen, Kim.

And now she's off to her first real job in a little town several states away. Brave and independent (and thanking us for our support). My sad mother's heart is proud.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936640861948682384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5065198779769921744.post-12399676092071055142013-06-17T19:52:30.729-05:002013-06-17T19:52:30.729-05:00Kim--You and your husband raised your children and...Kim--You and your husband raised your children and did it well. My son, after graduating from college, moved four hours away (I know, not as far as the east or west coast, so I shouldn't whine) and I just recently asked him if he was coming to St. Louis--not "home"--for 4th of July...because this is not home for him anymore.<br /><br />We miss them when they fly away, but we know they have the roots to keep them well grounded...Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
