He's finished...

Well, he's done it...David has graduated from college, with 3 degrees, no less. My proud mama heart was overflowing with pride in my "baby boy." He's worked very hard the past five years. As I remember the day we first took him to UT (leaving home at 4:00am), it seems like yesterday. We were flabergasted when we found out he'd signed up for a 7:00am check-in for the dorm, but it turned out to be a blessing because it wasn't so crowded that time of day. He was able to interview for a job, which he got, and the day was good. Fast forward through being on the Liberal Arts Council, persevering to get in the Student Senate and becoming Vice-Chair, and serving with the Blazers and leading them one year, all while holding down a part time job and studying and keeping up good grades. I wasn't prepared for the emotions that came flooding in on me. Congratulations David Sanders Yount! I am so proud of you and your hard work. You are loved!!!

Sadness

Several times a week, I wonder about posting and decide it's not the day, but...tonight is different. Sadness overwhelms me tonight. First of all, I'm hormonal (which never helps). My baby girl is leaving for her second year of college tomorrow. Two weeks from now will be the first anniversary of my mother's death. I've found that the anticipation of these anniversaries is usually worse than the day itself. I guess with Sarah leaving once again that I'm reminded of a year ago. My mother was so sick, and I was torn between the two. I didn't have time to grieve for either one fully. My poor mama had become a sick lady I hardly recognized. My baby girl was leaving, and I couldn't give that the attention it needed. I sit and wonder what this fall will bring. Will this be the "first year" of our empty nest? There are so many uncertainties... so many unresolved feelings...such sadness.

Last train to....Grand Central Station

My baby is moving to New York City! Is it OK to be excited and sad at the same time? I am so excited for him. This has been his dream for years, and now it's finally coming to fruition. He'll be living the fast paced life of the city with a job he adores. And, while we don't see him alot now that he lives in Austin, we know that we can jump in the car and see him in less than 3 hours. That won't be the case once he's moved. Guess we'll have to plan ahead more when we want to see him - but the fun we'll have. I'm looking forward to seeing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and Christmas is a lovely time to visit New York. I guess we'll go to another Yankees game, but this time it will be at the new stadium. I've not been to Coney Island yet, so I'll go see it too. CONGRATULATIONS, DAVID! We are so very proud of you.
