My precious Bo graduates from high school tomorrow. I have mixed feelings. I am so thrilled to finally get that boy out of high school and into college (OU). I am sad to see him leave. Why is it so hard to let him go?
Here he is as the little chubby baby he once was with his mom (2005) at his first dance. I miss Bo...or Rick as he has renamed himself... and he's not even gone... yet....

Here's what I think....when your child leaves home you have to mourn a little. It's a tearing of your heart..one of your life's purposes has ended to an extent. I cried for almost exactly two weeks when my son went to UT (oops!), but then, the tearing was mended I guess..and I carried on. I even got to the point that a somewhat empty nest was nice! Congratulations!
