I promised I wouldn’t cry today –

I lied -

I’m not good at letting go, even if I had 18 years to prepare.

Bradley is the second of my 4 to leave home. Today I watched as my son set up his dorm room, and officially became a “college man”. The excitement and nervousness was written all over his face, the pride was written all over mine.

Hugging him before I left was heartbreaking. I wanted to tell him I wasn’t ready… even if he was. I wanted to tell him he still needs me. I wanted to tell him I WANT him to still need me. I wanted to tell him to come back home. Please…

So as the tears stream down my face I write today for my son –

I am SO VERY proud of you!
I Thank God for giving you to me!
I Miss you already!

Enjoy these years my love, time as you can see goes by so quickly… A blink and a new chapter begins –

With all my heart son… I Love you!

Mom~
