You see many artcles, advice columns, magazine articles, etc. on parenting young children and teenagers. The thing I have come to realize is that the worry doesn't shut off when the house becomes emptier. I almost feel the job is harder in some ways. I can no longer insist they come home at a reasonable hour, threaten to take away the car, or any other powers I could have exerted in their eariler years. Now I think the problems become more expensive and monumental and more difficult to solve. That is when you truly have to abandon your fears and rely on your own personal "higher power." In my case, that is done through prayers and many of them. Funny how it really does release a burden especially when I repeat the mantra in my head, "Let Go. Let GOD".
