Baby bird had an excellent teacher and gosh, she's going to do so well! I could just see your pain in that pic when you sent it to me, no words. She's still got that sass that she had at 5! What a cutie pie! She's a beauty now, I know that you are proud and you should be, she's making it!<br /><br />Love you.

Oddly off kilter. I need to clean up his room, because we left in a flurry, and being male, waited until the last minute to pack. But I can't go in there yet. Maybe tomorrow :)<br /><br />As our babies go off to start the next phase of their lives, we get to ponder what to do with the next phase of our own.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739812143584749737.post-50890513908678421982012-08-17T15:56:30.644-05:002012-08-17T15:56:30.644-05:00I'm bawling with you.

Take it from a 28-year-old mama's girl. ;-)<br /><br />And I know it's no consolation, but at least you can walk around your house butt naked now. <br />Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741247143308918302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739812143584749737.post-17370026976004439012012-08-16T21:19:35.219-05:002012-08-16T21:19:35.219-05:00Aww...Robin...this is so hard. You try so hard to...Aww...Robin...this is so hard. You try so hard to act like everything is ok when inside you are just trying to stop time, and remembering the past. I admit when my oldest left home I actually grieved...and felt like the life had gone from our home. And your daughter will probably experience some homesickness and sadness, too. But it really will get better. But for now, I share your tears and send good thoughts and love your way...XOLinda @ Itsy Bits And Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090973681675943970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739812143584749737.post-24703650146192060622012-08-16T17:38:26.600-05:002012-08-16T17:38:26.600-05:00Awwww this makes my stomach hurt.

I saw Ty head out to school yesterday for his senior year of high school and it served as a reminder that this is our "last hurrah" with our youngest kid. I was a harbinger that Kathy and I are so very close to being empty nesters. I am not ready for that. When Darian moved to L.A., we had the consolation that we still had the boys. Then when Tripp headed out, we said "at least we still have Ty for a few more years". Well now, we are officially in countdown mode. I don't look forward to a year from now but I will do my best, just like you are doing, to try and put a positive spin on it so as to now diminish the excitement and wonderment that the kid has to be enjoying. Stay strong. You will have times when you feel like your making the adjustment and times when the sadness swallows you up like an avalanche. Immerse yourself in the things you do and with the people around you. They cannot ever serve to be a replacement but they can be a distraction to sooth the ache in your heart.

Big changes aren't any fun, even when they're the right change for some. ugh. Here's to hoping there are no more big changes.Heather Aleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00830185588772632040noreply@blogger.com
