In our church, the children’s program goes until the age of 12 then kids go into a young women or young men program.
The change over happens in January.
Today, we no longer have kids in the children’s program.
It’s hard to stomach.
It would have happened eventually. I know. But it shouldn’t be happening now.
I don’t have “children” anymore. I have three young men.
And I love my young men.
I love our friendships.
But I miss my baby girl. My little lady.
I still call ALL my daughters my babies. I have five babies. The oldest is still my baby and the youngest, too. And everyone in between.
Your journey is hard. Really hard. But these are your babies. No matter what. Forever.

I love that. Dax asked me the other day if he was still my baby boy. I said always!
