My house is celebrating and grieving our youngest sent off to college. Last hug on Saturday evening for now. My bride is in a good mess of tears, very spontaneous and salted with moments of strength. My older girls are home, the middle one to be hopefully soon married and an older daughter finding her way.
We got on the yak Monday last week for the 2nd time of his life and I try to regret not having incorporated my passion with his rearing. I am content yet wonder, "what if"...
I know many of y'all have sent off kids. We homeschooled all three with its struggles, victories and fails yet I know my bride dun good. He's a fine young man. His name is Jason. He attends The Masters University in Santa Clarita and loves all things music and theology. I'm stoked for his future. On a barbers salary we don't belong here but God provides.
It has only been two days and my wife knows our home is forever changed. Every step around the house causes an upwelling of good sadness. His room is still a mess, leftover hot Cheetos and Fritos Chili cheese chips. Who am I gonna brag to about all my skunks to though he was on his headphones in the latter years.
To all you who have gone before me, lost children, married, divorced, who have good loss, I tip my hat to you and celebrate super tough seasons of rearing kids and getting older. Love on em'! One cannot prepare for times such as these. I can only fish and cry when it's time...ooooo, what's that...zzzzzzzzzzz...
