Journey & Adventure

J and I have just finished dropping our Baby Boy off at college.   He was super excited and couldn't wait for us to leave.  I know he'll be fine.  He's like J and I -  adventurous and adaptable.   I'm super excited for him, but rest assured that I will shed a tear or two when no one is around to witness it.  So until then I need to hold it together.  Anyone got duct tape?

Once upon a time, there was a girl. Girl met, fell in love and married a boy. Girl is now a wife.  Boy is now a husband. Boy and girl had a son. Girl is now a mom.  Boy is now a dad. Son becomes the center of mom and dad’s universe. Son is growing up and will be going away to school in the fall. Mom is facing the reality that she will be soon left with an empty nest. Mom is not thrilled with that reality.  Dad is oblivious to it. Mom is thinking what now?  Where does she go from here?  Mid-life crisis perhaps? Dad is thinking about buying a boat.     Dad is still oblivious.    Mom wishes she was.
