Never Grow Up

My babbies are 22 & 20. I've moved into the phase of parenting adults. Its beautiful and its sad. So amazing to see them mature into beautiful young women, making their mark in the world, and becoming what God has called them to be.
 
So many times, I close my eyes and see my two little girls, dancing around in their dress up clothes, getting lost in their world of imagination and stuck together like glue. I had a front row seat to the wonder, joy, and tears, that formed their childhood. Now that they are not under my roof, I miss them.
 
I miss us.
 
But, this is the journey of the soul. They got what they needed from us, and its time for them to experience the world, and I will always be their biggest fan.
 
"Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh Darling, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobdody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up"
