Ditto here re: crying. sigh.

These are the kinds of things that have been going through my head when I wake up each morning, now that departure day is looming. Have done it once before with S1, so it’s probably a bit easier this time around, but still…

S2 and his wonderful GF have been together over a year. They’ll be heading to schools on opposite coasts. Like Bbdad’s D, they have agreed to end their relationship when they depart for school. In the meantime, these last days together are precious. They’re young, and it’s a sensible decision, but it’s still very sad to see such a supportive, sweet relationship come to an end. I hope they can remain friends.

I haven’t thought too much about our own goodbyes yet. With S1, I just had to remind myself how fortunate and happy he was to be at his college, and how sad I’d feel if he WASN’T there. It wasn’t too long before my missing him was accompanied by a decent amount of envy! I wish the same for S2.
