When my S22 left for College, I was emotionally distraught. I cried all the way home, for almost 2 hours.
My Son left for College the same year my Husband moved out of the house, so it was a double whammy.
A year later, my D21 also left for College...
BUT....He has become an amazing and wonderful Man, and I am so proud of him. He still visits and calls or texts me daily. He keeps in touch with his younger brothers and sisters which is the one thing I was worried about.
I guess it's all part of them growing up and us letting go!
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
