You captured this all so well! And stayed in the check out line! Gorgeous story telling, Sonya. I'm heading to Costco on this last day before school right now. I know I will be asked this question, and I feel like you will be by my side when I answer the same as you with all the swirling emotions.
And we went to Novi Sad when we were in Eastern Europe. Lifelong dream come true. And thought about you so often while there and how much you'd love it too. We'll have stories to exchange next time we're together.
Beautiful!! I’ve been feeling all this too. My oldest was able to be home for two months, my second even longer, thanks to summer school/ remote work/ gaps in leases. I don’t think it will ever happen again, and maybe that’s for the best. But it leaves an ache in my heart…
I've been in a glass case of emotion the last couple of weeks. The stress of harvest + the end of summer + Nora starting school (only pre-k, but still, it's a transition) and I am just a mess. Crying helps. 🤣 And I'm remembering we did have a good summer. I'm glad you did, too. 💛
Loved this so much! We're moving our youngest to college next week, and I have absolutely arranged my schedule each day so that I won't miss her waking hours! And secretly crying in the bedroom while also being so excited?? So relatable. Here's to holding multitudes :)
Wishing you all the best Nicole! [typing this as I sit down to work/catch up on admin stuff while she's still asleep...] And yes, already had good hard cry this morning! 💛

Able to hold multitudes, aren’t we?
Indeed. Well said.

this is another dream of mine -- can't wait to catch up eventually!

I don't think this experience of launching our kids is talked about enough... man, it's so hard!

All the transitions are hard. I wish it got easier! Sending love.
