What a wonderful picture! I can totally relate--we raised our granddaughter who is now 18 and off in Santa Barbara, a 5-hour drive from here, trying to get settled into college. We're happy to drive furniture down to her on Friday, returning so I can host an open house! She will welcome us, and then cheerfully wave goodbye -- and that's how it should be.
Do you ever head up to Glasgow MO? I spent several happy years there and still have relatives in the area.
Hi Billi,
And life goes on...
We remember vividly waving good bye to our 5 year old daughter as she got on her first school bus. We turned away and we were both weeping.
Now her children are 8 and 10!

Oh I know how you feel my daughter is 15 and is turning into quite the young lady. She is just starting high school this fall. It is crazy how fast time flies. First they need you and then they are mortified you might aknowledge you know them!
I really know what you are talking about. Enjoy the time you have they grow up and move on to fast.
Billi, I can empathize. My 14-year old son went camping with his friend and grandparents. He had the time of his life, too and I could tell he didn't miss me one bit, though I missed him. Life just wasn't the same. Little by little I have to get used to the idea someday he will be all grownup.
Cute photo Billi.
I now know what all those people were talking about when they say they grow up so fast. Enjoy the ride.
You gotta let go. He's 13 now, and if he were Jewish he'd be a man.
I'm not a Mom but I'm the world's greatest Aunt so I know a wee bit of what you're feeling. My first nephew was just married last week - WHAT?! And the youngest, a neice is wearing makeup (and not very well might I add) When did this happen, lol
Hi Billi, I certainly understand what you are saying. They grow up so fast. While we want to help them grow the wings they need to fly and soar, it's still kind of sad. If your son is 13, you've got some really fun years coming up in Jr. High and High school. Enjoy that time as I promise it too will fly by.
I should not have read this today-my daughter (13) is leaving directly from school to a freind's house for a sleepover and shopping trip tomorrow. I just did the math and realized I won't see her again until 6PM tomorrow! I really don't know how moms or dads handle it when their kids grow up and don't see them and talk to them every day. Can't say a million-dollar sale will fill that gap for me either. Hope you found a way to distract yourself and enjoy your day Billi.
