Letting go with love? Certainly. With confidence? I'm interested to read this one...

Comment by birthblessed on July 29, 2011 at 10:22am: Oh this has to be the next book I read (and maybe review on my blog)... the last book I did had a huge focus on preschoolers- but my focus in life is more towards the older kids. I have 3 boys in high school this fall! My oldest has worked out of state two summers in a row now. Some people don't understand why I'd let him. He gets home next Tuesday.
