A Day of New Beginnings Part 2
My last post regarding sending off a child to school was in 2013. Our youngest child's first day of high school. As I reread that post I find myself at another new beginning: that same child's first days in college as an entering freshman! As many often ask, "where has the time gone?" I watch my married daughter who is raising our first grandson. He is now 18 months old and a handful! Talking to her when she is tired, worn out, or just looking for a few minutes peace reminds me that I too was once in her shoes. Four times over! I remember thinking then that I would NEVER get a chance to be alone. And now, here we are, newly empty nesters and we have all the alone time in the world! As I said before, "where has the time gone?" We worked hard all summer long to get him ready for this next stage in life. But we feel we forgot something or more than one thing! It was hard leaving him knowing we may not have covered all the bases. On the long drive
