And three months later, I cried again when they went away to college. Heck! I still get a little weepy when Mandy and Aaron visit for a couple of days and then drive away.<BR/><BR/>So you know, it's also the natural order of life that moms get very emotional when children leave and we do it over and over again.<BR/><BR/>It does get better over time, but boy, the first time they leave is HARD!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078572615133867629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-53951204811803509342008-04-15T11:41:00.000-06:002008-04-15T11:41:00.000-06:00Oh, I am sorry about the infection!!

We've had two graduate, but they have lived at home for college except for one year in the dorms. It's still a step away from home, though, especially as they're gone from early morning til late at night. It's funny, when my kids were little I looked forward to the empty nest, but as the time for it grows closer, I am dreading it. As you said, I know it is natural and the Lord will take care of them, but to have someone you've had close everyday contact with and care for for 18-20 years move out of the realm of everyday contact <I>is</I> a loss. I have a lot to keep me busy, that's not a problem, but I can't imagine not missing them sorely.<BR/><BR/>I'd better stop before I get myself all teary......<BR/><BR/>I know mothers before us have survived and God will help us through. But it will be tough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-79895546247753352822008-04-15T07:13:00.000-06:002008-04-15T07:13:00.000-06:00OH how did your appt go for your hand???
