Why ...

Why didn't anyone tell me how hard it would be to send my last child away to college ?



Although it's not like anything could have prepared us for this , he graduated from high school with high honors , Magna Cum Laude which led to him receiving a scholarship to University of Texas Austin and we are extremely proud of him but it was also extremely difficult for us to leave him there. No he isn't a mama's boy but he is his dad's right arm ,his " Bud " ,which was his paternal grandpa's nickname. The idea that " he won't be present to say goodnight mom , I love you " accompanied with his familiar big bear hugs , well
it just feels like I've lost something precious and can't find it and I don't like that feeling at all , not one bit. !!!!
My oldest dd thinks sending her only child off to her first day of Kindergarten was hard , she's not gonna know what to do when it's time for this ... life has to happen doesn't it .

We said our goodbyes and watched as he left us

This is what I saw

I miss you Walker and it's only the first day with out you.
Love You more,
Mom
