Aiming to catch up on your posts this bright morning, from our vacation rental in BEND Oregon. I. LOVE. BEND! My husband starts the first, of four, races later today (Cascade Classic), and I'm up early, giddy and excited. I have feed zone duty (passing water bottles to him when he whizzes by) and wow, nervous Nelly I am. Anyway...how dreadful for your husband to experience the blistering, but glad the doctor made adjustments. Fingers crossed he's doing well! Your layout for your son: totally awesome! He'll only 'leave home' once, so capturing memories for a keepsake is thoughtful and heart-warming. Now, about that crying - you go ahead and cry your eyes out, if you choose, because that's part of who you are; part of what makes you absolutely unique, special and fabulous!! What others say doesn't matter: your son is "your" baby, and you can respond to his leaving any way you please! The same for your other boys: your guys first and foremost! Cry, laugh...do what comes naturally to you! When I leave my family (4 hour drive), rest assured that a good part of the trip home sees tears streaming down my cheeks. When my niece, nephew, sister-in-law and her mom left last Sunday, I was totally crying as I tidied up the house, in preparation for our trek to Bend the next day. Crying is, in my opinion, as much a sign of love as it is of sadness or joy. "Feel" what you feel, sweet Brenda. Feel...Mega hugs~ccmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929147498832463255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497071172006284715.post-66538018937678833092014-07-12T04:40:09.837-04:002014-07-12T04:40:09.837-04:00Great to hear your DH is doing well after such a h...Great to hear your DH is doing well after such a horrid time, Brenda ... hope it continues! What a fun layout ... so perfect for when your DS spreads his wings. Whilst you may cry (a lot!), you'll be so proud of him, making his way in the world and embarking on this fabulous new adventure in his life!

You know this is what you brought him up to be able to do, so he's just going to the next part of ya'll's journey. Having the story in pictures will be a wonderful way to remember this bittersweet time, and what a keepsake for him in later life. Glad to hear DH is managing ok on the current regimen.

Love the car with all the bags and all the wonderful elements of your layout. I am a cryer also. Just comes with the territory. Will continue to pray for your hubby and that things will go smoothly with getting your son in school. It was quite an adjustment with our empty nest, but you get used to it and it is never empty for very long, lol.<br /><br />HugsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01076917503012587587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497071172006284715.post-55303826583559219882014-07-07T17:36:06.908-04:002014-07-07T17:36:06.908-04:00What a great project!
