You will cry like Suz said. You'll feel lost and shitty but then they'll start needing you in other ways and you'll be okay. It's the suckiest transition in the world but we all have to do it. I still hate it, butw we suck it up because we WANT them to be independent, right?

Where has this summer gone anyway?<br /><br />I would like to say something that would make you feel better about next week's departures--like, remember this when they move home when they're 25 and you're still trying to get them to move back out when they're 30--but I just really "got nothin'" because you are going to miss them in a way that will be totally new. No matter what, you just will. <br /><br />I say you'll be able to get past it quicker if you just go ahead and embrace it. With stellar advice such as this, I know how comforted you must feel when I say we're here for you. :)<br /><br />It is mandatory for all Moms to pass along the clean underwear advice.kim-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650811256788756378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191096654817601753.post-2691491617748628152009-08-13T09:04:11.987-05:002009-08-13T09:04:11.987-05:00You're completely correct in that those who cl...You're completely correct in that those who claim to not want drama seem to be immersed in it.
