Re: Oh man....
Oh, Sassy, I sat and cried next to my bed, curled up on the rug like a fetus when our youngest daughter left home. It was probably one of the lonliest times I remember. That "empty nest" syndrome is very real and one cannot imagine how that feels until you go there.
He will shine in college and you will probably call him everday (until you drive him crazy with MOM calls) but it does get better with time and they do grow up and actually call you and send you letters (oops, I mean texts and emails, these days). You've been a great Mama and you reap sll the good things the future holds by 100 fold.
Sending you my empathy and love today,
Vickie
