Emily – Most anything I can think of to say sounds so contrite but I’ll say it anyways. What your going through ( experiencing seperation from your family ) is a natural step in life. You are growing up and learning that family will not always be there for you, so you must learn to enjoy and rely on the good times you’ve had and will have with them and keep them close in your heart. I just had the idea too that Christ’s sacrifice to save use from sin ended with His complete seperation from His Father. He despared his seperation much as you do your seperation from your family. Maybe that thought can help you to be strong. It’s natural to feel sad. You wouldn’t want not to feel sad. Christ knows and completely understands what your feeling, therefore he knows how to teach your heart to be strong and resilient. You want to be close to your family and remain in their love and they in your love. The thing is to face each day knowing who you are.That you are a Muffett (and a Jefferies of course) and that you can never truly be seperated from those who love you. They will always be in your heart and you in their’s. Well I hope this has been of some benefit. This is a stormy time for the whole family when the kids move out on there own and follow their own paths. I’m sure it’s going to be rough on Margot next month when Justin leaves for Dominica. It’ll be tough on Joel as well I expect. It is tougher perhaps because your family (our family) is so close, but there is a solid core there that will never be easily broken. Emily, you are a delightful gift of God, and the world is a much better place for having you in it. Find joy through your sadness and you’ll be alright.
