Getting Through It
In 24 hours I will be driving in tandem with my husband taking our first born to college. All that is left today is the final Walmart run and packing his clothes. His room looks empty even though it isn’t.
I feel like the day before he was born, waiting for labor to start. When our son was born I was as prepared as possible. I had taken the breathing classes, read books, and listened to other people. When labor hit I was not prepared for how it felt at all. However, everything I had been learning during my pregnancy did kick in and help me get through it.
I think tomorrow night I will feel the same way about this experience. I have read articles, listened to others who have been through this, and bought extra tissues. I expect I am not prepared for how it will feel at all, but will find I have learned a lot that will help me get through it.
I’ll let you know.
Sheila, you can do it!
Been there. While it's all part of the "Circle of Life" (mercifully, without all the lions and warthogs), it's still not fun to say goodbye.
On our way home from dropping off one of my heirs (his younger sister is going to community college next year. In MY community), the radio played "Cat's in the Cradle."
Wasn't so long ago, he slept with his Tonka trucks.
Now? I don't want to know.
This is such a tough one. You still have the birthday boy for noise but the teeny tiny hole is always there.
Stop by my place. I left an award for you.
Wow, a real pivotal moment. Hope you had a good trip.
*HUGS* Mine has 3 more years and I'll be in the same boat as you! They grow way too fast.
