Been sitting here all day, trying to get my head in the right place about my son graduating and I am just having a hard time. It isn't just about me, it's about him having to leave his girlfriend, all his friends and start again new. I know it's the natural progression of things and I know he is only able to do this because he has prepared himself to enter college by working hard and carving out a place for himself. I know he will only be about 4 hours from home and I know he will be home in a few months for the holidays. I know all this, yet it still hurts at the thought of him not being safely in his room every night. I love my son, I know he is prepared, so why am I so unprepared? Ok so this is about me....

It's a big adjustment for all of you...
But, what an exciting adventure for him! I know it'll take time to adjust to him being gone, but thank goodness he's only 4 hours away-and you can stop by whenever you wanted....ok not whenever, but you know what i mean :) lol
Thank you! I do know what you mean. I am hoping the thought of it is not as bad as it will actually be. Kind of like when he started to drive.
Hang in there mama, change is hard but I know you'll push through, and your son is lucky to have such a supportive mom!
i think every parent goes through this. even though i have an older brother and my parents where sad when he went to college they were also unprepared to when it came time for me to leave.
i think no one is prepared to let their child go, even the child itself (even though they dont act like it or tell you).
but keep thinking about how lucky you are just to have him 4 hours away!
I feel your pain! When I moved my oldest to college, I cried all the way home. Three hours... all the way home. I wondered who would take care of him! I so get this. I'm thinking about you.
Because a Mother's love is so deep. (((((HUGS)))))
Thank you ladies so much for your encouragement and insight, I knew I could count on you all to lift me up.
