It's finally here. The day I have been in deep denial about all year. I get teary every time I think of it, and try to be brave, but all I can think about is how much I will miss Chad and how much his life is going to change in a few short weeks.
How did he go from being my bouncing in his "Johnny Jump-Up" boy (that I take full credit for why he is now a kicker, thank you very much), light-up shoe soccer player, preschool graduate, hard-working, goal driven boy, ready to go out in this big world and make a difference? I know, this is what is supposed to happen, but are we ever truly prepared? I am genuinely excited for all he is going to experience and know that God will direct his path, I just have to be willing to stay behind and let him find his own way.

I feel for you, and once a mom always a mom..... Life changes, and that's how we really want it for them.... I remember the time Rich came home to CA, after being away, and saying he had one foot in the nest and the other out...
Chad will fly!!!! You can be so proud and thankful, that you did make a difference...... He will also have adjustments,lonely moments and missing home and all the great meals you made for him..\
Can't wait to see you all.. Love mom
