I want my balance back.<!--more--> My daughter went to overnight camp for the first time. She cannot call home. I cannot hear her voice. She has been gone for 4 days and I have that feeling of being homesick that can be remedied by nothing but her presence. I have absolutely no desire for my children to go away for college. If they choose to then I will condition myself to prepare for that time. But while they are still young I want to hug them and squeeze them and love them every moment of every day. Right now I just want to see my daughter again.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10268\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2013-08-02-16.13.28.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10268\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10268\" title=\"2013-08-02 16.13.28\" src=\"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2013-08-02-16.13.28-300x179.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10268\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anna&#8217;s bus returning from camp<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Overjoyed, relieved to see her smiling face, happy inside and at peace with my life; that\u2019s how I felt when my daughter returned from camp. I was sad and a bit off balance without her. I do not think a parent can love their children too much. I am so filled with joy that she is back and she had such a wonderful experience. I would never hold her back from new opportunities just because I would miss her but I am happy to have balance in my heart again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I missed her so much&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":10267,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[810,53,292],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10266"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
