Missing my baby

Well, Sarah's working at Camp Pine Tree this summer. I know it will be fun for her, and I pray she'll be blessed by her job and the kids. This week she's been at training, and I really miss her. She was home one short week before starting the training, and it really spoiled me to have her around. Being at camp, I can't just pick up the phone and call. It's a little strange. These days of cell phones has spoiled all of us. We expect to speak to whomever we want, whenever we want, and right now! So, I'm feeling a little lonely this week. You know the intense love I feel for my children doesn't fade as they get older. It just gets stronger and stronger.

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.
