The party things have all been put away. Not really, but the party is over. The reality hasn't yet sunk in and Jim plans to leave for Minnesota sometime tomorrow. I'm not sure how I am supposed to react. (That's the "blank mind" I mentioned in an earlier post.) Maybe I'm the type who lets things sink in a little at a time...
Aloha Friday.

I wish there was a bandaid for heartache, I'd mail you a case of them. As always you are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteIs that your son leaving for college?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is not easy to let them go... this year my second son moved out (to college) but thankfully he is not far away and comes home on weekends, but we miss him nonetheless.
Gudl- He's been done with college for at least a couple years, but he's moving to Minnesota for a job. :(
ReplyDeleteThat's a great picture of all of them! I wish Jim the very best. Hopefully he'll find work closer to home before too long!
This is always a hard time for Moms. I'm with gmj...you are always in my prayers.
ReplyDelete*sniff* It's kinda like losing a best friend... Except that he'll be back for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone, I appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteBethany, you and Adam aren't losing a best friend 'cause Jim will always be much more than a friend. I'm so thankful for the friendships my adult children have with each other. What an incredible blessing it is.
Pray for Jim too. He's having mixed feelings now that the time has come. He hasn't finished packing and will be here for supper tomorrow. It will be his 26th birthday. Think I should make another pie?
Martha, you have definitely been in my thoughts and prayers all weekend. Knowing you would be having the party, knowing you would say goodbye and knowing Jimmy would say goodbye... That is nice that you will be able to cook him his birthday dinner. Of course you will make another pie!;)
ReplyDeleteProud, anxious, hopeful, sad, confident in God's care. Start planning your trip to Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteWow! I was 14 when he was born. It seems crazy to remember back!
