The mother of two boys who have recently graduated from
college it was hard to let them go, but you must!
I remember dropping them off for the first time at college,
I helped them organize their dorm room, and then it was time to say goodbye. I
cried the whole way home! The unknown was killing me, questions of what if it
doesn’t work out, will he hate it there, and will he get along with his
roommates? Rest assured it will all work out!
The hardest thing for me was to
let go, but you must! It’s time for them to grow up and let them figure out things
on their own. Will there be some bumps along the way…absolutely, but they’ll learn
from those experiences. If they ask for
your advice, give it. But for the most part it’s out of your control; the 18
years you raised them will now come into play. Sit back and enjoy the ride,
they grow up way to fast!
