I haven’t written in a few months, yet it feels like a few days. This last semester has gone so fast. It was my son’s last semester in High School. He graduated in May. What a touching experience. So many “lasts” on his way to so many “firsts.” It’s difficult to fathom that my role as full time mom is coming to an end - There’s about 2 more months when he’ll be living with me, in our home, fulltime, then it’ s off to college and hwo knows when or if he’ll be home again for long periods of time. College summers are iffy - I stayed at school, working and taking classes - will he? But it feel so good to know he has a god head on his shoulders, he knows how to make decisions, how to reconsider and change courses if need be. He’s a good kid, a solid human being, and I’m pleased that he’s ready for the world and hopefully the world is ready for him. As a parent, I think your goal is to help and guide your child to be ready for the world, to successfully launch out of your home and make it in the real world - enjoying rather than enduring life and thriving rather than surviving life. I truly believe my son is ready for that. So, if I haven;t been writing blogs, i’t’ been because I’ve been caught up in his successful launching process and it’s been a kick.
