Journaling Says:
This week was Senior Night for hockey. Things are starting to get a bit real now. I successfully made it through the night without shedding a tear, but today is a different story. I’m not old enough to be the mom of a Senior, I’m not ready to not have him home everyday and seriously how am I not yet back to my pre-babies weight? HAHA. Our Senior is so ready for all that life has to offer him as he steps into this next phase of life. I truly am so excited for him! Somehow, my heart is on my sleeve now and the tears flow easily as I don't want to have to give up my hugs before school and my hugs before bed each day. I know we will settle into a new groove and find a new college version of “hugs”, and I’ll be ready and waiting when he comes home for the real thing and all the other every day things I’ve taken for granted to this point. I vow to be ready to watch, cheer, and love him as he takes control of his life and makes it into what he was created to be.
I’m so proud of him and I know he’s ready and able to tackle the good and the tough days. I hope he knows he’s loved beyond measure and the world needs who he was made to be.
This mom will get it pulled together before anyone catches me with tears falling!!
This is beautiful (my tears are brimming, too!) I hope you find a precious moment to share with him, I know it will be something he shall tuck away into his heart of memories
Okay you know I love this so very much!!! I do understand everything you wrote, and I’m still feeling those feelings each time a kid leaves the nest. Man, we raise them to be independent but boy does it stress us out when they do exactly as they are supposed to. Sigh. This page is gorgeous and I love all the pops of blue. Thanks for sharing it!!
