I really do appreciate the feedback. <br />"Grapple" indeed! These life transitions are something to grapple with... and in time, I hope, something to accept and know: it's all right, alright, and even quite good.

Such a brilliant mind, amazing man... He will be missed. Seeing Alex's creative talent on paper dazzles the heart... what a gift he has!

They will let you know if they want more support from you. They will come back to the nest, because they know they can depend on you.<br /><br />3.

I keep telling myself that the right things will happen -- that the school(s) that will be right for him are the school(s) that will want him, and that any places that say "no" will say it because they know how to gauge the connection between what they offer and who my boy is (and I can even know that the "no" decision will always be their loss and not his). But it is so, so hard. Hard to let go, hard to believe, hard to hold this much hope in one heart. We, simply, are mothers. It's what we do....Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383220573177416855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-11354419581096250832011-10-06T12:36:44.979-07:002011-10-06T12:36:44.979-07:00Wow...he is so incredibly talented.
