[quote=Anonymous]With all the applications in and a few acceptances already back it just suddenly all hit me today that my oldest is going to gone next year. I have been so excited for him and have had fun going through the college process with him - it is so different from when I did it. I want him to spread his wings. To grow and learn and fail and overcome and I am really truly am happy for this phase of his life but seriously it just hit me. My baby is going to be away most of the year and on his own and this is an absurd notion because he was just 7 years old three days ago, I swear.

Complete meltdown.

I wouldn't tell him this ever and I am sure I'll be excited again and blubber about it again. I just wanted to see if anyone else is feeling this way with their soon to be adult teen.

My grandma used to tease us and say "You are getting too big! I am going to tie a brick on your head so you stop growing."

I totally should have done that. ;) Maybe my 9 year old will let me...[/quote]
