Granted, he's almost 25, and actually left the nest at almost 19, it was hard. He's in town for training this week though.

Thing is they are also your best friends and when you look at them you see not just the man they are now but the little boys they were. Know though that he feels the same way about you, just can't show it. And know too that a place for you in his new life will open up.<br /><br />Perhaps having him go unexpectedly is a blessing - a short goodbye is easier than a long one. And feel entitled to cry all you want. He looks to me like a great guy launched by a great mother.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589088509970822837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-51823260252962464332010-09-02T22:25:25.746-04:002010-09-02T22:25:25.746-04:00So hard!

It is very hard to have your "babies" leave the nest, but it reflects on yourself that you have done your job, and a job well done at that! Congratulations!...2 sewing rooms?

Just remember you did your job and raised him well. You are proud on the one hand, but sad on the other and the sad part does get better. I wish him good luck. <br />If it's next door to your sewing room it definitely opens up possibilities. Two rooms or one big one?
