He is not big on electronic communication. But yes, we are very close, and I am already looking forward to next summer. I'm counting on his being home, although his new piano teacher is already talking study in Vienna the summer after that. Sigh. <br /><br />CJ, sorry for the tears. But thanks for crying them with me. And for the lovely words. We'll get through these lasts one way or another.<br /><br />Leah, I have had several mommies who are a few years ahead of me in the grown children phase tell me of the wonders of married children and grandmahood. Yes. There are always wonderful things to look forward to, even as we leave wonderful things behind.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817680463922038375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973269483459581996.post-4185409908574886882011-05-28T11:49:21.898-05:002011-05-28T11:49:21.898-05:00Most of the time you don't realize it's go...<i>Most of the time you don't realize it's going to be the last time. </i><br /><br />That's why I remind myself over and over to enjoy these diaper changing, baby nursing, shoe tying, bedroom cleaning, piano practicing, hair braiding days, because there <i>will</i> be a last time for each of them at some point. I am not looking forward to that yet (well, in my exhausted moments I do :) <br /><br />But hey, God willing, I will be happily doing all those little things for my grandchildren some day!

I'm still on the last jar of baby food and looking forward to the last diaper, but I ache for all the lasts to come. Thankfully, the Lord has seen fit to surround me with beautiful, strong examples of mothers like you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973269483459581996.post-30532661384368461602011-05-27T21:51:19.205-05:002011-05-27T21:51:19.205-05:00Cheryl - hugs from Indiana.

She will be clear in California this summer and then back to IU. Sigh. I will not pretend it isn't hard but I know you are proud of him and he is close to both of you from what I can gather. That closeness hasn't changed for me so I doubt it will for you either. Hugs again.Bikermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07183756903027223916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973269483459581996.post-16349648240012828542011-05-27T17:04:22.248-05:002011-05-27T17:04:22.248-05:00Aw, thanks, Martha.
