Growing up too fast...

My oldest started 1st grade...might not sound like an earth shattering occurance but it has been to me. As a woman who thought she would never be blessed enough to have children, I am having a hard time letting go. He is getting so independent. I am reminded of a poem...

A Son is a son tell he takes a wife
A Daughter is a daughter the rest of her life...

I do want my boys to be strong and able to stand on their own...I just want them to need me a little longer...is that too much to ask?
