Strangely, and I can't even fathom how it happened, it got gradually easier.Angela2932https://www.blogger.com/profile/17740350969313163956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511981110494089272.post-46787258189461133412012-01-24T15:03:58.008-05:002012-01-24T15:03:58.008-05:00I loved that movie where Durante sang that song - ...I loved that movie where Durante sang that song - and seeing them off is part-&-parcel of growing them up.

That second when he pulls away from the driveway and waves good bye is still one of the hardest moments I encounter since he went away to college. I know he loves (and needs) to come home. I also know he loves (and needs) his school. How does that Jimmy Durante song go: “Did you ever have the feeling that you wanted to go, when you also have the feeling that you wanted to stay . . . ” Hang in there, Nicki! What choice do we have?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051950012579346329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511981110494089272.post-11620244821922369572012-01-23T21:27:01.173-05:002012-01-23T21:27:01.173-05:00It is hard to let them go even knowing that it'...It is hard to let them go even knowing that it's a good thing for them.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13449044851171262504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511981110494089272.post-56380505251225268272012-01-23T12:18:15.124-05:002012-01-23T12:18:15.124-05:00I understand your feelings.

He's in grad school so I should be used to it by now but there's always that little tug. Wonderful photo, btw.
