It's been awhile since I was here last... I have been so busy getting my son ready to move to college and then the actual move. It's done. He's on his own and already spreading his wings. Classes start tomorrow and he will have to fly...
Thank you for all the kind words of support. It did help. Thursday (moving day) was hard. Friday was harder. Yesterday was better (I only cried once). Today I can think of other things. I have survived!

Karen what a beautiful family. Your son looks very happy and like he's ready for his adventure. Things will get easier for you. I promise!
Karen ~ ohhh what fun and such an adventure ! Isn't it amazing that they are all grown up ! I have't quite wrapped myself around that yet ~
Karen~ I am still unable to breathe~ I am watching you go through this with such grace~ I hope for grace in a few weeks.
Karen..love your blog! I did the same thing a fews years ago..but held tissue & wore dark glasses..I turned to mush..LOL.. it does get easier. you have a beautiful family~~
I have 13 more days with my son as well. He is moving into an apartment with some friends. I will have to come cry with you. You are a lovely family, and I know your son will be Blessed in all that he does.
Nothing but utmost respect to you, Karen, and all your friends in this time of transition. I'm only seven years behind you, and I'm finally believing it goes by fast.
Blessings to you and your son...
I think I know that campus! Heheh. I think all college dorms look the same.
Oh Karen, what wonderful pictures! You are a beautiful family. You are handling it well. I know I will feel just the same when my little boys start to leave. How wonderful that yourson is going to college though!! Just think of the wonderful stories you will get to hear! I am thinking of you :)
Hugs,
Amy
Your little boy is fast turning into a young man. He looks so happy and ready for this new chapter in his life.
It was so very hard for me to leave my son,only child standing in front of his dorm at Purdue three years ago. I was happy for him yet felt like he was slipping away from me at the same time. I tried so hard not to cry, but when he hugged me goodbye and said,"I'll be fine mom", I broke into tears. I cried the whole way home.
My son started his senior year last month,I still feel the ache knowing he will most likely be moving out in a year. He tries to ease the pain by slipping comments in about possibly not working in Indiana.You would think you get used to it, but it will always be bittersweet. It does get easier,but nothing remains the same. Take care and let him take flight. We have done what we are supposed to do.I am glad to see I am not the only one who has such feelings for her child.
