Son is still in school but out of town and daughter got marries while I was indisposed last year - and she lives out of state.<BR/>You get used to the peace and quiet too quickly - when the kids visit you wonder where the hell all the noise is coming from... Congrats to the lad - he'll carry on in a manner that will make you proud.The Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854776544931267722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-1167820960442663062007-01-03T02:42:00.000-08:002007-01-03T02:42:00.000-08:00Oh the ecstasy AND the agony parents experience w...Oh the ecstasy AND the agony parents experience when they send their children into the world!! Such extreme polar feelings...you're proud of their accomplishments and saddened that this means they will be moving on in life.<BR/><BR/>As they continue to grow, independently, you find it a bit easier to accept this as 'natural', but I can also tell you that the sting of letting go is always there. I experienced it once again after the holidays. And for some crazy reason, the more they succeed, the harder it is....I suppose because you're looking at a person you REALLY like and enjoy spending time with and they are not available. I take heart in the fact that others value and appreciate my children, and that I've helped contribute to the betterment of our world by helping to shape such great human beings!<BR/><BR/>Congrats and best wishes to your son, and good luck to mom and dad...you WILL survive, and you always have us to vent with when the going gets tough!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-1167812351065989582007-01-03T00:19:00.000-08:002007-01-03T00:19:00.000-08:00Please tell Big Bubba I'm very proud of him.
