This week is about goodbyes for me. I just finished my short trip to South Carolina moving my daughter and grandson. It was fun to be with them as they start their new life in a new place and a new school and a new job. Saying goodbye is difficult but exciting too.
Fast forward, as you are reading this I’m now in VA moving my son into his first year of college. Saying goodbye once again but it’s all good.
The funny thing is I will be miles away from two of my four children and there is an excitement stirring in me. I’m so proud of my all grown up children and the decisions they have made. I am confident they will continue to live life like they mean it. Not being afraid of saying goodbyes when they need too. I’m also excited that I have been instrumental in their lives up to now.
Now you know I have to tie social media into this some how so here goes. Facebook will help me glance in and see what they’re doing at a distance. Occasional emails and texts will keep me up to date. I will rejoice when they rejoice and I will be sad for them when they are sad. I will see them at family gatherings, holidays and breaks and more pictures and memories will happen.
So as the new chapter begins in 2 if my children’s lives, mine begins too. You see it isn’t really saying goodbye it’s turning the page to a great, new adventure. Life is good! What or who have you had to say goodbye to lately? Drop me a line and let me know how it’s going!
