She was all cuddled up on the love seat tonight and simply said, "I don't ever want to grow up." Tara then rolled over and faced the couch so we couldn't see her face. I was thinking about what she said and remembering her previous fears, told her that it was ok, she could live with us as long as she wanted. That's when I heard her quietly sobbing.
With tears rolling down her face, she tells us that she will miss us and that she will never be able to live anywhere without us. We tried to explain to her that one day, she would meet the man of her dreams or her boyfriend Jazper and would want to live with him. She doesn't agree. We tried to tell her that she would be able to have all the animals that her little heart desires. She doesn't agree. We tried to tell her that she would be able to do the things that she wanted. She still doesn't agree.
That's fine. I am not so sure I could live without my kids in the house either. How sad is that? I'm thinking of the empty house syndrome before I ever need to and my daughter who is only 6 years old is worried about leaving way before she needs to.
