My son has been packing up his stuff to go to the very first apartment of his own. A buddy of mine came over this morning with his truck and we started the process of getting boxes and furniture into the new place. We moved a good third of my son’s stuff into his apartment while he filled out all the paperwork. Then my buddy took me out for Chinese and my son went to work. After work he went to the new place. The half empty room is harder on me than I thought it would be. He has always very much wanted to stick with his brothers, and mom, and me. I didn’t realize how much I relied on that. He’s on his own and in some sense so are we. I know that he’s only a mile and a half away but it feels like so much more right now. I keep reassuring myself that he will do awesome. It helps to reassure myself that we will too.
