First year slicer. Day 13
Shaista’s piece about empty-nesting 2.0 inspired me to pull out a piece I wrote 6 years ago when our first born left for college. I remember feeling overwhelmed with both joy and grief.
I miss you so much it hurts.
I’m not telling
You this
Because you deserve
To be Free
To live your life
To create your own
Journey.
All of your hard work
Has paid off
You’ve made it
You’re in COLLEGE
I am so blessed to be your mama.
I love you, my sweet, sweet son.
But I miss you so much it hurts.
Love,
Madre
