I can't believe the school year is already over. Tomorrow Aidan will fly to Boise for the summer. He is flying by himself. The first time. I think I'm more nervous than he is. Acutally, I know I am.
These next couple of months are going to be torture. We did this last summer and the first couple of days are fairly nice considering he gets up at 6:30 every morning. Last year I was closer, in the same state, so it made it easier. I knew that I could be there in a matter of hours to see him if something happened or spend the weekend with him if my mom was watching him. This year I am at least 12 hours by car away and I know that I can't be there as quickly.
Mostly, tomorrow is reminding me how quickly time goes by and he is growing up. He has two loose teeth that he will likely lose before I see him again. He is so close to riding his bike on his own. I guess it is really all part of being a divorced parent. Each of you misses the "first" something. I know that Aidan understands this and he has told me how much fun he is going to have --- but ends with "I will miss you Mom. If I forget to call will you call me?" How could I not call him nearly every day?!
Awww... Well, it's been a day. How you feeling now?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I went out and got a manicure and pedicure after his plane left. I still miss the little bugger though.
ReplyDeleteYou are a real trooper. I don't do well when Orion is gone over night. I am waiting for him to get home from baseball.
ReplyDeleteGrandma Robin needs to see the little "bugger" soon. Hopefully after he comes back from visiting Tara!
