I used to wonder when I was a teenager why my parents would sometimes look at me so wistfully......especially when I did something great to make them proud. Instead of
giving me a 'high five' or making normal hoots and holler sounds that proud parents normally make, they would 'get 'weepy' on me. I would always wonder why would they have such weird reactions sometimes.
What I didn't realize then was that my parent's hearts were breaking in those times because I was growing up and they were soon going to have to let me go.
One summer day shortly after I had graduated from college, I told my mother that I had been thinking about living at home and going to graduate school.
When she didn't respond but walked out of the room, I followed her and repeated myself, thinking she just hadn't heard me the first time.
She had heard me though. She just couldn't respond because she was crying. Quickly I hugged her and said, "Mom, what's the matter?" She turned and took my face in her hands and said, "yes, you staying here would help your Father and I so much, given we both aren't feeling well, but you MUST go...you must take that teaching job in California and not come back because if you don't go now, you never will."
With all of her might of heart, in those miraculous moments, she severed any dependency we had created between each other and demanded that I fully take my life on with no looking back....ever.
This precious time with her comes back as I prepare to channel the Ascended Masters Warriorship of The Heart Program. I have to blame her, my belov'd Mother, Teci Sheehan, for always showing me what matters most and what our world has needed most - that of always living from the ways of 'Great Heart.'
