Difficulties of growing up

Being a mother of an adult daughter is another test! And two daughters, doubly so. It seemed that they would grow up sometime later, not soon, and this is still far away. But now the time has come and I understand that my babies, with whom we were inseparable, are no longer babies and it is more comfortable for them not to leave their room than to spend time together. To replace my girls, two hedgehogs appeared in turn, which do not allow themselves to be hugged. And each of my requests to photograph them ends with a defiantly outstretched hand in front of my face. Instead of photographs of matured beautiful and beloved daughters in my album, now mostly sleeping or imperceptibly imprinted my hedgehogs. Although it is not easy, but I understand with my mind that I need to let go and not push. Give them the opportunity to live through this period and not feel rejected and unnecessary anymore. I understand that this stage will end, and we will remain as close as before with my girls, and we will look at these photos with a smile. I love them very much. Sometimes you have to move away to get closer.
