This week, my wife Stephanie and I advanced one step closer to having an empty house. Some may say that this was a traumatic week for us. With one son already away at college, we took another son and moved him into college mid week. We take the remaining son to college this weekend. It’s hard to believe that our boys are off to college when it wasn’t that long ago that we were there ourselves.
Sometimes, one can only wonder: where did the time go? All those years of loving, caring, nurturing – and now, they begin a new and exciting chapter in their lives. Perhaps Dr. Seuss said it best:
How did it get so late so soon?
It’s night before it’s afternoon.
December is here before it’s June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?
May God watch over and protect those who have left for college; and may God also care for us parents left behind!
