Leaving Left on a Jet Plane
Well, he’s off to find his future in the bright lights. After 19 years, (yes, I know he’s only 18 but there was the nine months getting ready) of wondering, worrying, watching and praying that he’d grow up happy, healthy and excited about his life … it’s hard to let him go. It’s absolutely bizarre not to be picking him up, taking him here, there and everywhere, nagging him about what he’s not doing. I hardly know what to do with myself!
