This morning, I hugged my oldest son goodbye as he headed to Florida to start his next chapter. And my mama heart is feeling every bit of it.
You spend so many years helping your children become independent, encouraging them to be brave and chase their dreams. Then the day comes when those dreams take them far from you, and you realize how proud and heartbroken you can feel at the very same time.
I’m so excited for him. I’m also sad that I won’t get to see him as often. Both of those feelings are coming with me today.
Dalyn, I hope Florida brings you friendships, opportunities, and a life you love. I’ll be here cheering you on, missing you, and probably calling a little more than necessary.
Looking forward to our next hug. I Love you so much.
