I know - this stage is such a hard one. This 'letting go' is so bittersweet.
My baby is going off to college this Wednesday. My older one just graduated from college and will be living in Hoboken, NJ and working in NYC (we live in FL). At least my younger son is staying in FL for college.
It is so disconcerting to have such conflicting feelings simultaneously. While I miss them terribly (and my younger one hasn't even left yet!), I am so overwhelmingly proud and thrilled because they are both extremely happy and successful in their lives, comfortable in their skins.
Sad and thrilled at the same time.
I am a little nervous about 'empty nesting' . . .
