Something is different-well, a lot of things. This is the last year of running around and balancing my schedule with his because he is soon going to college. It’s been him & I for so long, I have to admit I’m ALREADY missing him. Can you relate?
I find myself feeling MORE appreciative of him- his laughter, his jokes, his stoic expressions, all of it! Truthfully, I find myself missing him. I’m excited for him and me because this is a new chapter. His real life skills will be put into practice but I’ll continue to be one phone call away. We’ve had some conversations about the upcoming days. We completed the FAFSA. He’s completed scholarship applications. We’ve done a whole lot, but it doesn’t feel like enough. So what do I do? Feel the feelings and don’t get stuck. I surrender him to God, knowing that he is ultimately his.
One of my dear friends who has two graduates this year said “yep, I started doing things alone because I realized I needed to get used to it”. That was some of the BEST advice I’d ever heard. Thoughts?
