Sleeplessness

[core_opsis]

 Tomorrow, Elder Son and I leave for Michigan.  It seems very odd that I have to go to school to teach today.  Irrelevant to my life, which at this moment is all about ES leaving for college.  He is so ready, and I don't know how I'm going to stand having him gone.  Of course I have to, but still, I'm going to miss him SO much.

Here's a cup of tea for you.

It may be a rough few weeks, but you've got a lot in your life, and you'll bounce back. But it *is* hard ....

Kalamazoo seems to take the opposite approach to most schools, which have you go their in late August. Why do they do that--do you know?

I've been thinking of you ever since I saw this. You will be fine through this transition. There may be lots of ups and downs.... some unexpected feelings... all important to just let flow and not suppress. This is a major life transition with your oldest child leaving home. Honor the passageway you are (both) going through.

And neither of you knows what's next.. it will just unfold moment by moment, wonder by wonder...

I hope you're doing something very nice for yourself!
