24 hours and counting

These last few days have been a mixed bag of emotion. I am excited that we are finally
going for our visa appointment, looking forward to good results and Denis coming! At the
same time I have a deep sadness. My son, who turns 19 in September is scheduled to move
in to his apartment. I have spent 19 years with my primary job being that of Mother to
my son Wes. We have been through so much together. My cancer, the death of my brother
then the end of my marriage. As Wes was entering High School, I started a business.
These past few years have been full of change and a constant inching forward to the
day he would move out. I have lived with Wes longer than I have ever lived with anyone in
my entire 51 years of life. Hopefully, he will heed the things he has been taught. He knows the truth of God's word. I pray he will walk that out as he begins this new season in his life.
I know this is the natural course of events, you grow up and leave home. It is just really
hard to let go. I love him so much. The Lords timing never ceases to amaze me.
This should be an exciting week.

I am reminded of the line in an old hymn....whatever my lot thou hast taught me to say, it is well,
it is well with my soul. Please pray for us all. I will post as soon as I hear. Love, Cathy
