Today is a new beginning. The movers came this morning and packed up my sons belongings. Robert is the last to leave the nest and even though he has been at college for four years, I cried. A chapter of my life is complete. Thirty years of raising my children to be persons of integrity…completed. Now all three are out on their own, making their own decisions and their way in the world.
I have loved being a mom, it’s tough at times but well worth the effort. Now the role is different, more advisory and supportive, less instructive.
I’m looking forward to a new chapter in my life. Norm and I will be traveling, not only to see our children scattered around the world, but Norm has a goal to visit all of the US national parks.
