My son was injured on his mission, and it was two months before the decision to release him (4 months early, much to his grave disappointment) was made. It was difficult to leave him to the stewardship of his priesthood leaders, but that's where the revelation comes and where your child learns that he can find the answers he's looking for. Hope you're feeling cheerier.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532225334730948057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-68103784948432081972010-11-05T09:19:40.316-06:002010-11-05T09:19:40.316-06:00It is now out of your hands...and introspection is...It is now out of your hands...and introspection is part of growing up.

And that was with me leaving them, not the other way around. At this point, them leaving is something that is far far in the future. Yet, I think about what it will be like from time to time. Reading posts like these remind me that the worry I have now will not disappear. If anything, it will intensify over time and distance.amber_mtmchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871256362646081536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-82257975332565273272010-11-04T21:19:22.197-06:002010-11-04T21:19:22.197-06:00It's always a worry when they're away and ...It's always a worry when they're away and out of reach and need their MOM!
