To contemplate sending a child to college is quite different than actually taking them to college and leaving them…. I didn’t think it would affect me like it has…my oldest and my youngest went to college today….and I’m feeling somewhat bereft …. I know many women have gone this way before and survived and so will I but… now, I know what it feels like to have raised a child and then start them on their adult journey…. I know she’ll do well. It’s just I’m having to remember the old adage, “Children are not ours to keep; they’re only on loan for a little while and when the time comes we have to learn to let go.” It’s the letting go that’s causing me consternation…
I’m sure she’ll do fine…
Until next time, love God and love the ones you have in the nest, cherish the sweet moments while you have them, and then let go when it’s time.
