My baby graduated from high school last week, so this thread is the first one I'm reading as a new member. Lots of tears for a couple of days, even feeling panicky. We have plans for a trip after we drop him at college this fall. Meanwhile, I can cry myself into a hole by remembering all the cute little boy moments, even watching little boys playing soccer in a field this morning. However, I feel better when I remember the sullen teenager of the past few years, and how excited he is to be going away to college. Letting go is a very big challenge for me as well. Blessings to all of us moms who did our best. Where are OUR diplomas? Hee hee!
