I'm soooo proud of my son right now I could explode!!! He went to the State Track and Field meets on Saturday and competed in 3 events and competed against 24 schools. Pole vault 11' (came in 6th), 4x1 relay (came in 6th), and the 4x4 relay (came in 3rd). The 4x4 qualified him for the MOC (Meet of Champions) this coming up Saturday.
Isn't this the most awesome way to end high school!!! He graduates on the 12th :cry: :cry: (never ever thought of him getting this old)
Then off to Norwich University and the ROTC Program for engineering. :cry: :cry:
My one and only!! Going to miss him dearly!!!

Congratulations to your son! Best wishes on his future endeavors.
I graduated my youngest daughter Friday night and she will be off to college in the fall. It will certainly be different around here with her gone (She is my rowdy, fun-loving child).

Congrats!!! You're so right--what a great ending to this chapter!! He sounds like a super athlete!! How about some pictures??? :-D
Empty nest isn't too bad--we bought kayaks and stayed busy. :wink: Although three years apart in school, both my kids left for college the same weekend! One attended the community college first, while the other graduated from HS a year early--it was crazy to have them leaving home the same weekend.
There are hard moments...my daughter and I are very close and I miss her friendship, but overall the quiet and privacy and clean house and less wash and dishes is pretty sweet. :-D And I communicate with my kids almost daily. My son came home from college every weekend so didn't have to miss him, :-D and my daughter emails often. If I don't hear from her for 2-3 days, it's because she's happy and busy.
You'll work it out.... be excited for him and there'll be less room for sadness.

This is quite an accomplishment and remembrance.
You should be proud! I have confidence he will do wonderful in the Meet of the Champions.
Kids just grow up too fast! Time just slips by so fast, cherish the time you have
Good luck this weekend. Take pictures sewcrafty and share with us!
