Only a couple of more days until our daughter and granddaughter come to visit. We haven't seen them since April, and miss them so much. There will be a week together, and I want everything to go well, and fret about details, when I really know it's out of my hands. I can only handle what my words and actions are, and trust me, that's more than enough to take care of. Expectations are super tricky, and feeling like I can orchestrate the visit is a minefield. So many other family members are involved, and all with the best intentions. I'm just going to be happy to physically be in the same space as my children. It's an end to the summer kind of get together, and that makes the visit bittersweet in a way. The fall season is coming fast upon us, and there are those expectations, the holidays, our daughters' birthdays, the shorter days and stress to handle. Being up at the cabin is a last hurrah before all that.
So I need to not let the pull of the fall keep me from enjoying what is happening right now. A visit. A chance to connect, laugh and have fun. The future will take care of itself.
