September has never been my favourite month. Aside from some family birthdays and getting back into a regular routine after a summers worth of no set schedule, it’s not a month I look forward to. This September proved to be particularly difficult. Saturday September 2nd, we moved our son, my baby boy (sorry Ev), into his dorm 2 hours away. I’m super excited for him but I’d be lying if I said this was easy for me. I know he’s ready for this season in his life but this season seemed to sneak up on me! I’m gonna brag a bit here so please bear with me…Evan has always been a very responsible boy. He has made honour roll each year that he was able, he is kind and considerate towards others and truly loves the Lord…Bryan and I are thankful. We’re also thankful that he seems to be sure of his career path and I know that’s not the case for many when they graduate from high school. It’s safe to say, we’re very proud of him and we know he’ll thrive in his new environment. That being said, he’s still my little boy and not having him in the house has taken a lot of adjusting on my part. You all know that change is not my strong suit but I’m working on it…honest I am!
He’s only a couple of hours away and in this day an age he’s really only a text or FaceTime away. There is nothing I have enjoyed more in my adult life than being a mom that’s for sure. The highs and the lows, the ups and the downs, I’ve loved them all. I realize that no matter how old or how far away I am always a mom but this has really given me a glimpse of what’s to come. Bryan and I have done our best and now it’s time for our son to spread his wings. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” Proverbs 22:6. Thanks for letting me share guys and sorry Grace…I think mom’s gonna hold on pretty tight for a bit ;).
