I never realized how hard it would be when my son graduated. He is graduating in a few weeks and it feels like every day he is moving farther away and I guess he is. He is becoming his own person. I am proud of him and at the same time I wish that I had my little boy back. I look at this young man and realize that someday I might see my little boy in him, but for the most part he is gone. This young man will continue on in life and because a wonderful person, not that he isn't already, but he will become more so as he matures.
For all parents out there, good luck in this turmoil filled time and if you have any hints for me to help get through this, I would greatly appreciate them.

As each of our children left, a piece of me went with them and I wondered how I could survive having them grow up into such wonderful people and then go into their own lives and homes...
I almost didn't survive it, until the greatest thing ever happened!
We held our first grandchild! And now we have our children, their sweet spouses, and 18 amazing grandchildren to love...and though I still miss them...life just keeps getting better!
Thanks for the wonderful comments. I am hoping I have a few years before the grandchildren start, but I am glad you got through it. :)
