But, you will persevere and so will your son. Some day he will understand what you are going through when his son or daughter heads off to college for the first time. He must simply realize that the reason you are feeling this way is because you love him so much. I guess it is a rite of passage as a parent to have to go through this ordeal. Hopefully you have some support from your husband or a close loved one during this time. It is extremely tough at first but it does get easier. Please don't hesitate to contact me via my Contact Me page or through comments on this blog. Please check out my other posts on college separation anxiety. They will help you deal with it when your son does leave for college. Best, Bob Hi Susan,

My oldest child, my son, graduates in two months and I am having trouble dealing with the upcoming events. Your family situation sounds exactly like ours: a close-knit family of four. Your daughter also sounds just like my son: a joy to have around. My son is already getting disgusted with me for feeling so low about this, so I hope that I will soon gain some measure of peace.

The strange thing is, he appears to be better today than yesterday and this is after he is off all antibiotics. We shall see. By the way, you should get yourself a gravatar so we can see your face.. :-) El Sheila,

He had a great life and he is almost 87 years old. It still doesn't make it easy. He is the same way as your Dad was. I remember him saying "I love you" once in my life. But, just the way his eyes light up when I visit shows me how much he loves me. Thanks for reading. I really appreciate it. Best, Bob Thanks Sheila,

Again. It reminded me of my late father. Again. A good reminder. I am their first as well and his Princess. The funny thing is, he never really verbally told me he loved me...until I left home to study....What do they say? Distance makes the heart grow fonder... Love reading your posts!

I think that post was my best yet because it really hit home with me. The words came very quickly and I think I was crying while I was writing it. I can relate and I hope your son is doing well and thank him for his service for me. Best, Bob Hi Ms Freeman,

I know your "pain". My only joined the Navy it’s been 6 years (I know get over it MOM) and he is married and lives in San Diego (Okay just let him go), but the day he left was the hardest day of my life (Yes even worse pain than his birthday). We raised them well with strong values and convictions, they spread their wings and fly the strait and narrow. :) This is such a sweet and heart felt post. I know your “pain”.

I even THINK about this with my daughter (who is only FIVE) and it makes my heart go all soft and my eyes well up. I hope you will talk more about how this new phase of your life is evolving. Bob.
