It's so hard to let our "babies" grow-up and become themselves. As I was helping my daughter unpack her new apartment in WYOMING last week (states and states away from me!), I found myself telling her all sorts of things that she MUST do and what she NEEDS, until I finally had to tell myself to shut-up. She's a big girl with a family of her own and was raised well. She'll be fine, my little Noah will be fine. I just don't know if I will be fine without them....Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016439610436864684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820341205372529316.post-11550499325315102102008-08-21T09:22:00.000-04:002008-08-21T09:22:00.000-04:00oh..

I feel your pain, I am in a different state then my oldest son is in his college pursuit, he was just home for 2 weeks this summer for his sisters wedding and left again on Sunday, it was so good to see him, and it had been 8 months since his last visit, and he doesn't know if he will make it home for Christmas this year. :( It's a 20 hour drive for him, so... you see it's not something that can be done often. I know it doesn't matter if he's just down the road or 20 hours away, it still hurts to let them go.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582185677552675229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820341205372529316.post-85939668503268375112008-08-21T07:09:00.000-04:002008-08-21T07:09:00.000-04:00Oh, I am so not ready for that.Tell me it gets bet...Oh, I am so not ready for that.<BR/>Tell me it gets better.

Michele... hang in there. Just remember that ...O.K. Michele... hang in there. Just remember that you and your hubby taught him (and his sister) the "right stuff". He was making the "right decisions" at home/school before... now you have to let him continue to make them now. As hard as it is, we have to let them know that we believe in them and their choices! He will call and probably come home to do laundry/get a home cooked meal and just "hang out"... if you were close as a family b/4... don't bet that that will change too much now! <BR/>We are LDS and our son went on a mission at age 19 all the way to Puerto Rico for 2 years! Talk about hard... but we all survived! Me... well I tried to hang in there and was doing o.k. until we left and went to Burger King on the way home... the family all went to the restroom and I was left to order the food... ahem, well let's just say that when the guy took my order I forgot and ordered enough for our son too! I burst into tears and he looked at me and asked me if I had just dropped someone off at the MTC (missionary training center)? <BR/>They do grow up wayyyy too fast. We just have to enjoy them while they are home, and then let them continue and live their lives and hope and pray that we get to be part of them as they continue to mature and experience life. <BR/>FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!<BR/>JEANJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820341205372529316.post-29178793966721307222008-08-20T17:56:00.000-04:002008-08-20T17:56:00.000-04:00I so empathize with you!

You are a wonderful mom and I am sure your son rely on all of the things you have taught him over the years. Good luck to you!Jen @ tatertotsandjello.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270956429192534316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820341205372529316.post-11599765785603834012008-08-20T14:55:00.000-04:002008-08-20T14:55:00.000-04:00Oooh I dread all this with my children and I think...Oooh I dread all this with my children and I think every parent you speak to seems to go through it.

Been there, done that! ...I know just how you feel! Been there, done that! My oldest daughter is starting her 3rd year of college on Monday. She choose to go to college in Lousiana which is a 5 and a half hour drive from home. I missed her terribly. Luckily she is the type to call home all the time. She was very lonely and depressed alot that first year and I spent many a hour crying after talking to her. It's hard knowing your child is sad. She has always been shy and has a hard time making friends. Now she has made lots of friends and is doing great being so far from home. I am doing much, much better myself. Having my child happy makes me happy. And I am happy to say she still calls me all the time! Especially when she is going back and to across campus to class. So take heart, it will all be fine. Your little boy will be fine and he won't forget to call his mom!<BR/>Have a Blessed Day,<BR/>Dianecrafty dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071469435959091830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820341205372529316.post-46228991414398353372008-08-20T11:12:00.000-04:002008-08-20T11:12:00.000-04:00Aw Michele.
