What else?

Tonight my heart is so heavy I wonder if I'll be able to keep carrying it around with me...

My baby girl (well, teenager..) has decided she would rather live with her father.

My heart is breaking and I miss her already.

I am afraid for her. I don't think she really understands all the consequences of the choice/choices she is making.

That saying about choosing to have children is choosing to have your heart walk around outside your body feels so true. And 14 is too soon to have it walking so far away.

I love my McKenzie and hope this choice will help her on her way and teach her the things she needs to learn without too much heartache, pain or any devastatingly permanent consequences.

What else can a mom do?
