I’m sorry for the stupid question but I’m in love in this painting since I saw it on your website. I can’t find anything like this by google – who painted this one?

I don’t know what to say, other than congratulations to your son, and good luck to him at college! And I hope you feel better too, Sister.

Focus on the pride & independence. I was in a Day Centre for Autistic Teens/adults this week. It made me want to run screaming up the street but I had to stay and teach the staff to use iPods. Younger Wolf will change the world (or at least hack into the computer of someone in Congress & blackmail them into changing the world) and he won’t end up playing table tennis in a Day Centre.

I was so sad – for 6 months – then I snapped out of it.
Bake & send the stuff to young Wolf – he’ll love it.
They come back – alot.
When he does, you’ll enjoy how smart & savvy he’s become.
Do fun stuff with your husband, friends & your job = exciting time.
Everything you said is completely the truth, it’s o.k & the way it’s supposed to be.

Oh gosh mixed moments! Fabulous he is off to college. It is exciting but I can understand that the ’emptiness’ is overwhelming. Why don’t you bake the cookies when the moment comes and take them to a food canteen for homeless or similar.

I do like the idea of going somewhere where there are noisy kids and then going home to enjoy the peace and quiet! Refocus everything. Your ‘nest’ isn’t empty, it changed don’t forget the college hols come around very quickly!! xx

I don’t have children yet, but I did go to college (in Australia) and my parents were moping around for weeks before I left. But after I was gone, I think I missed them more than they did me! And when I flew back for christmas, I saw two completely different people. My parents were suddenly doing stuff together, they were flirting, planning vacations and seemingly more happy than I had ever seen them. I guess me leaving ‘forced’ them to change their perspective a bit..

Or maybe they were just so glad to get rid of me that it was just a big celebration 🙂

Good luck to you all, i’m sure he will love college!

i love this post and the picture. there is something so intoxicating about cuddling your own child. and no way at all of ensuring you can get the cuddle when you need it. the absence is just a complete emptiness, one that you feel physically and spiritually. i feel for you, and i haven’t even sent mine off to toddler school yet.

at least you’ll get about 2 phone calls a day for the first week or two. and they’ll be good and appreciated conversations. you have that to look forward to 🙂
