I'm glad S19 is still living here for now. He's in that in-between phase where he's still a teen, but becoming a man, and it is so hard to know when to let loose and when to hold on. I can't imagine him leaving to go away to college. That would have been very hard for me.
He's talking about moving in with his GF and a friend for 6 months (long story that I'll have to post). I've already expressed my opinion about it. But I have to let him make his own choices, pray he succeeds, and be there to hug him and pick him up if he falls flat on his face.
