How is Everyone Holding Up?

I was doing so well… until yesterday. I was in line at the grocery store behind a dad and young son. The little boy and his dad were talking about what he could expect in first grade. I was smiling at this kid and he looked at me like I was a wierdo, so I said to the dad, “My son is leaving for college this week.” He laughed, but I had to turn away - I thought I was going to break down and cry! I had been shopping and thinking about the food I wasn’t going to have to buy next week - stuff my son likes - and I guess it hit me in the checkout line.

Thank goodness I’ll still have one at home. After church today we were talking with friends whose oldest son is also leaving on Wed, and their younger daughter is the same age as mine. The mom said, “We’re just not going to let the girls go, they have to stay with us!”
