A mom called today sharing her tears and excitement about her son heading to college in August. She is full of energy and late night exhaustion. She feels like a storm is coming but has no interest in preparing.
Summer will pass quickly and then she will face emptiness. She asked me to remind her that she will collapse and then rise again. Normal journey in transitions.
She knew she would fall in love with her baby. She just never heard anyone talk about the fall from goodbye. She is setting her sails now on having the softest aloe Kleenex as needed and enjoying summer with the whole family together.
Moms, Dads, celebrating their children growing up, stepping up towards adulthood. Parents are wondering what will it be like to be an adult beyond parenting?
What new meaning and joys will they step up towards?
Do you have suggestions for them?
Have fun,
Natalie
