Wow! Thank you so much for this!! I am going through the same thing with my daughter for distance learning and also wanting to protect them from well life itself I guess and how selfish of me that would be but it comes out of being a mother and wanting them not to ever have to hurt like I have because of where I have let that hurt take me. Now I realize I just have to teach them how to better deal with the hurt that comes in life and give them tools to get through it and come out even stronger than they were before. Letting go is the hardest thing in the world to do when every part of my being wants to hold on tight and never let go. Thank you so much for this lesson today. It really hit home with everything that is going on in our lives.
