My baby is Leaving me

Congratulations to your son!I know you MUST be PROUD! I know you're going to miss him incredibly but you know at the end of the you know he is doing something really outstanding once again congrats to both mom and son!!

Wow! That is gret - Congratulations Victor! How far away is he going to be from you? Will he be able to come home on the weekends, etc? I haven't got to the stage of my kids leaving home just yet - I still have 2 who aren't even in full time school - lol! (roll on September). Anyway, guess I can't tell you how I will cope when one of my brood leaves... but, we did leave my eldest with his grandparents for 4 days when he was just 15 months old. He was fine! We, on the other hand, wanted to cut our 4 day break short and go back to get him on day 3! Good luck, be strong for Victor, it is going to be hard - but rememeber, he is only going to college. It is going to be a great time for him, he will come back a man (hopefully), and at least he isn't going to war or something horrible like that. Also, try to make the most of your last few months with him in the house, spend as much time together as you can - you know what I mean? All the best Violetdreams

My mother got along just fine when I left home, because then she was able to moe out to a farm in the country, like she always wanted. I found an apartment in the city where I grew up. I can't live in the country beause I rely on publi transportation.

I just have one daughter. she is 16 years old. I know that I will surely miss her also when she grows up and leaves my home. I cannot imagine what you are feeling right now, knowing that your son will be leaving in just a few months. At least you have a little bit of time to prepare for it. I am happy for your son also. I am very sure that you are a very proud mother. Good luck to your family.

That is great news. Congratulations on your son getting into College. Woohoo! I'm sure you'll have the little ones to keep you occupied. I don't know what's going to happen when Maddy leaves for college (long ways yet) - I might just move with him LOL

You will make it just fine. My son stayed home and drove back and forth the first 2 years of his college, but decided to get an apartment his third year. He had been working the entire time. HE was afraid I'd get upset when he left and he told his Daddy instead of me what he was going to do. It didn't bother me because I knew he was capable of living on his own. I was the one who went and signed for him to get the first apartment since he didn't have any credit. I enjoyed going and helping him clean sometimes. My daughter's two oldest are going to college right near their home. We thought the son was going off to college last year to play football, but he decided at the last minute he didn't want that and decided to stay home. It was a blessing and a disappointment - blessing he loves home that much and a disappointment we won't get to see him play football anymore. But he has a girlfriend and wanted to stay near her. She will be going to college this fall along with his sister. They all are attending the same college.
