Possessions

So many things on my mind tonight. My children (and grandchildren). For I have many concerns; for their safety, their happiness, their relationships. My only wish for them is that they are safe from harm, grief and heartache. That they find real love. And I wonder if they know how much I love them. I think of them everyday, sometimes long into the night. I pray for them. I cry for them. I try not to worry or interfere, as they are adults with lives of their own. I wonder if I am doing enough, worried that they may think I don't care, because I'm not constantly calling and checking up on them. I'm not butting in on their lives. I wish I knew where the line between caring and meddling was. I fear that in releasing them to live their own independent lives, that I may lose them. I have SO many things I have yet to say to them, so many talks we have managed to avoid. I long to spend real quality time with each one of them, to make sure that they KNOW how I feel about them. I never had that with my parents, and it has left me filled with doubts and unanswered questions. I don't want to do that to my kids. These 10 people are the most important people in the world to me. My most precious possessions. Even though I do not possess any of them. They are worth everything to me, and if I lost  just one, I would be devastated beyond repair.
