While Mom is Away....

...Mom cries.

I am feeling extreme "mommy guilt" for leaving Max this week.  I always worry.  I am constantly thinking:

• Will he remember me?
• Does he miss me?
• Is he cold at night?
• Are his teeth bothering him?
• Is he saying "ma ma ma" to someone else?
• Is he getting loved on enough?
• Is he giving Max kisses to someone else like he does to me?
• Did he take his first step?
• What if he wakes at night, and no one hears him - and he needs something?

I know that he is fine....but the fact of the matter is that I'm not there.  So I am reminded that this worried feeling I am experiencing is the same that my mom had for me, and her mom for her....and most importantly the worry and care that my heavenly Father has for me.  Which then leads me to remember this: "give all your worries and care to God, for he cares about you." 1 Peter 5:7. 

So, at the end of the day....I have to just....LET. IT. GO.
