@southern_eh: It’s ok to grieve the end of a season with your kids. Just don’t sit in that for too long. Being a mom to a college kid is amazing. The relationship deepens and as they become more independent a friendship develops. You can take a bit of a step back from full time parenting and truly enjoy the young adult they are becoming. It’s a wonderful season full of so much fun and joy. Hugs to all the moms sending kids off to college over the next feels weeks. You’ve got this ❤️. #collegemom #over40mom #genxmom #parentingadvice #momlife

Just when you get used to them being gone, they are back living at home. You will miss them being gone😂

My kids are almost 24 and 26 and it’s so fun to have an adult relationship with them! We have so much fun together. This next phase is really cool.

This is so true. There is grieving for what was but there is so much excitement for what lies ahead.
