driving miss robyn ~ insane
this gal got her drivers license yesterday - she can now legally drive herself on the road. oh my gawd. She is all grown up - but I don't know it, I can't accept it. How does a mother cut the ties to let their baby fly? I have given her a vintage St Christopher medal (blessed of course) to put into her car & I have asked St Michael the archangel to be with her each and every time she drives - but still I will worry - cause thats what mums do. isn't it?

Your daught is beautiful, such a gentle face!
Oh, I SO feel for you. Those were some of the hardest days/weeks in my life; when my girls first started driving. of course we mothers worry, i think it's in our genes, to protect our young.
thanks for popping by my blog and your comment.
Oh yes that is what we do one of mine is 30 and one is 21 and I still worry. I guess it never quits.
Your daughter is BEAUTIFUL!!! Know whatcha mean. Been there, done that. After awhile, the worries lessen....a little bit. ;)
Yep, that's what we do best. I'm sure she's a fine driver. In all honesty, I was glad when the teenager got his lisence and has actually matured. Go figure. They never cease to amaze us do they? She is gorgeous, by the way. That fellow was a fool!
your sweetie looks just like her mom! I got most of my gray hairs from 3 daughters getting their license and remind them every chance I get. LOL Your December soap and christmas card is on its way to you with your teeshirt. Invoice for shirt inside. Hope hubby appreciates your surpise!
She's beautiful Robyn..like her mum xo
She'll be fine. I've always found kids live up to your expectations. If you trust her and let her know that, she won't let you down. She will be rsponsible, wait and see.
Wow, congrats to her! I am 29 and still don't know how to drive - eek! So my mum still doesn't have to stress about that. I don't know how you let your baby go off in the world and fly because I've never been a mumma, but trust they you have raised a level headed little angel. She's beautiful that's for sure. I think she certainly inherited that from you!
Things look festive in your world. So great. It's started to happen here - the tree is up and so are the lights. I'm just waiting for the mood to hit me. Hasn't happened yet this year. Soon, I hope.
yep my eldest is the same age, i worry all the time!will it ever stop? I doubt it!
Robyn as a mum to four and now a grandmother of eight you can never!!! truly cut the ties! as you say. I worry every day and it is a part of you that is tucked up deep inside you forever.
:o) you learn to live with it and they will be safe and you can just "be there" for them forever.

Brings back memories of when my boys got their driver's license...yup, it's all part of being a mom, worrying! It is hard to let them go and I don't think we ever truly let them completely go. She'll be fine, Robyn, just trust her judgement and know that she's a responsible young woman. Hugs xoxo
You have given her roots and a good foundation trust that she knows her direction to follow.Every once in awhile we need to enforce do's and don't..like no drinking while driving
call me no questions will be asked.
I know my mum was so worried when I passed my test and still is to this day - mothers will never stop worrying! All you can do is give your love and guidance and that will show the way :)
oh wow!! My Britty also became 'legal" to drive yesterday!! she doesn't have her actual "license" yet...we get that in 3 months....have to go up to the courthouse to get it.....but yesterday she got her 90 day slip....she keeps it with her permit and it shows she is allowed to drive by herself...YIKES! actually she's a pretty good driver...so I'm not tooooooo worried...ok just a little....LOL
Congratulations to your Baby Gal!!!
My, your Sophie is so lovely! Robyn, you will always worry about her, and your other children - it goes with being a parent. So far as driving goes, I actually worry more about what other drivers will do. SORRY - I didn't mean to add to your worries ... lol.
Congratulations to Sophie.
It must be hard to let them go and fly on their own, I can't imagine. May she be forever safe behind that wheel, blessed be.
Yes, it is so hard to let them fly!
Blessings to Sophie and to you!
Robyn....She's beautiful.
Say your prayers, Trust God, and let her go....I know it's hard...She'll show you that she is up to the challenge...then maybe you can relax a bit.
Your daughter is beautiful. I completely sympathize with you on the worry issue....been there, done that! It does get easier as time goes by.
Reminds me of my middle daughter...she got her driver's license after the course at the high school. The license came with a note from the instructor asking that I not allow her to drive...because she didn't know how. BUT, he gave her the license anyway. She was 13...when she was 19 and a mother, her younger sister taught her to drive!
Your daughter is absolutely gorgeous, Robyn! Congratulations to her - and my condolences to you, having been through it twice. But I'm sure she'll be fine - just breathe, pray, trust in God - and her! (Easier said than done I know, but there's not much else we can do when they grow up!)
XOXO
*I'm still running behind on your blog somehow!
Yes, that's what moms do! Sigh. Your daughter is beautiful and I'm sure you've taught her well. Have faith. When my daughter is out of sight, I have to pray a lot and remind myself she's in God's hands.
