Realization

The other day it really hit me that soon I my oldest 2 will not be under our roof. It won't be long and they will be worrying about ACT and LSAT prep. I just about cannot fathom not being able to touch them every single day. Having them sit close to me on the couch and tell me about their day is one of the best parts of my day. And soon I won't have that with those 2. Now I know how my Mom felt the fall I left for college and my older brother married and moved out. I know that is part of raising them up but does it have to happen so soon?
