On Sabbatical
I will be sparsely interacting with the internet as I take my last child off to college this week. It's a strange time - one where the home becomes more quiet as a moment ends for the parent yet heralds and exciting beginning for their child. Others have recently articulated this strange time well, so I leave you with the words of a much better writer, Michael Gerson of the Washington Post:
I don't know whether to say congratulations or not. LOL! I dread that day myself. My daughter started college a year ago. My son is 13 and now starting 8th grade. I am not looking forward to my children growing up. And yet I am.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter! It's hard letting them go, but your happy that they get to live their lives.
ReplyDeleteWe too are facing the empty nest, having dropped younger daughter off to college and tomorrow older daughter to her new job in another city.
ReplyDeleteMany mixed feelings. Should be an interesting time...
Congrats to you.
