And then there were three……
Today I am sending my oldest son away to Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox, Saskatchewan. I’m very excited for him. And completely broken hearted at the same time. But so so proud. He is going to do great things that kid!
He just finished at the Victoria Royals rookie camp, where at his exit interview they asked him to stay for the Main camp. I am absolutely bursting with pride!!! We had to make the heart wrenching decision in the parking lot to continue with our plans to send him to ND today and graciously thank them for their offer. They understood, and said that they will be watching him throughout the year, and wanted him back next year. I sure hope we haven’t shot him in the foot by saying no. What an awesome week he has had with them!!!
I’m going to miss him so much. He’s such a presence in our house. It will be awfully quiet without him. But on the flip side, it’s not like when I was 16 and moved to France – when it took 2 weeks to get a letter and phone calls were stupidly expensive! Now we can FaceTime and text, and today, to his dismay, I signed up for Snapchat! His first one to me said “this can’t be happening”…
I‘ve been running completely on adrenaline these past few days. At some point I’m sure I will crash, but for now, I’m feeling all things at once. I am so blessed – many people never feel alive at all!
