It's his late class. He's right on time!" That first semester was a lesson for me!Natalie, the Chickenbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424213130274740719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-42752839953352582292016-04-06T12:50:25.652-07:002016-04-06T12:50:25.652-07:00Thank you.

Let them go and leave the door open - they'll be back before you know it, on vacation, between halls/flat shares/house shares/with or without boyfriends/girlfriends/for celebrations and when you least expect it! I love it that 'home' is still their home even though they live away - and for one of mine at least, thousands of miles away. Yes, of course, I shed a few tears when they go off at a station, airport, to catch the bus or just walk to somewhere else that they live - but we've raised them to be strong and independent - they're doing what they're meant to. You have talented children and a wonderful family, don't fret, change is just what happens in life! AxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
