Spent time with my own teenage daughter today. Even went grocery shopping with her. Cases like this makes me realize how short life can be, and as difficult as teenagers can be with their hormones, wanting to become independent, wanting to carve their life out, etc., they often push the parents away as they spread those wings. I just pray that my kids realize that as they spread those wings, they might fall, and in those times, I'll be there to help raise them up to spread those wings again. Not often they want to share their free time with parents instead of a boyfriend, or friends, etc. I'll take every moment they are willing to share!
AJ and her family and loved ones has been on my mind most of the day. Prayers continue.
