For some reason, I’ve been thinking a lot about you and your kids lately. When your first son went off to college, your sadness was palpable, and when you said that he didn’t really visit much, it was pretty depressing. 🙁
Maybe it’s because we are also getting to the point where we have to start dealing with our eldest preparing for college. We still have a few years, but she’ll be getting her driver’s license this next year, and one can’t help but wonder where the time goes.
I know this sounds bad, but I long for the days when families would often stay together in multi-generational households. Having your kids leave is like ripping out a piece of your heart.
Now, this most recent post of yours has made me even sadder. I still think at least one of your kids should stay home and go to college locally. Where is the middle one going to school? Have you suggested this to them (I think you did with your eldest)?
