If he went to the grocery, he could have what he wanted- chicken tenders, pizzas, whatever. If he didn't go with me- no junk - just healthy stuff. So he went with me. As soon as he left for school, there I was wandering around the grocery - my daughter had left years before and suddenly I was all alone. Just me. I wandered about trying to figure out how to shop and cook for one. Crying in the grocery store. OH, it was a sad state of affairs. You will make it! xoxo, Cheryl Whosyergurlhttp://wwww.cherylkaybennett.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-91294626550712146882012-11-06T18:42:08.796-06:002012-11-06T18:42:08.796-06:00Glad to see you're back...

It's your own fault you're sad you made him the awesome young man he is :). You silly goose he's only 40 minutes away. I used to drive it every day for work. I see every other weekend excursions in your future. He is going to be so awesome doing what he's doing and so lucky to have a family that made it possible to be so on course at such a young age. Be PROUD.

And now 7 years later, she's fine, and I am doing okay....though I will admit I still tear up sometimes. ;) It's tough... you should be proud, but trust me, you'll be fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-46537776460223269122012-11-06T08:39:29.151-06:002012-11-06T08:39:29.151-06:00awww... it'll be alright. take care of yourse...awww... it'll be alright. take care of yourself and rest today. <br />blessings<br />~*~Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997549543731061699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-66790435352084163392012-11-06T08:37:26.370-06:002012-11-06T08:37:26.370-06:00I didn't realize I'd missed you so much un...I didn't realize I'd missed you so much until you blogged again!

Sad face here. I was missing your posts since Phyllis passing and was checking every week, no every couple days, but no posts to be found. Now here you are a hot mess. Oh Jayme! I understand now what took so long for this "non post" to appear. My oldest was in Chicago too. That was nerve racking for this "country mouse" mom. But, she did great and Aaron will too. Your only a phone call away from each other. Its time for him to spread his wings Marmie! You'll be ok, really. Now go check on those hens, bra or no bra. They need some love and maybe some discipline?

It is we who feel the pain, who cry our hearts out, that is the way it is. But they never truly are gone from us, he will be home again, and as he spreads his wings and flies, it is you who can take pride in the man he has become. And, I will let you in on a little secret: Once you get used to it, it can be lovely to have more time for yourself, more quiet time, not having to consider what he likes or doesn't like to eat, no worry that he is out past curfew. Yep, girl, it ain't all bad!! Just give it a little time.
