We arrived at the campus and
Sara was asking if I wanted to
get the stuff we brought Ian out
of the car and I saw him walking
toward us on the sidewalk.
Gee guess what I did?
A. Got the stuff out of the car
Or
B. Ran like a mad woman down
the sidewalk to hug my boy
and cry.
If you guess B you win a
concrete bike with square
wheels. Sorry inside joke.
And for people who know Ian
well this next question they
should know the answer to
What was the first thing he
asked us to do?
A. Play a game of cards or
B. Go to Dunkin Donuts for
blueberry bagels with
plain cream cheese.
If you said B again you are
dead on. I don't think we even
had been out of the car more
then 5 minutes before he asked.
The rest of the visit was running
around getting his room food
restocked, picking up a few things
he had forgotten and a tour of the
campus for Sara. Then it was time
to leave. It was fantastic to see him
but I had to revisit what I felt the
last time I walked away without him.
But unfortunately I wasn't as brave
this time and had to walk away
quickly.
Sara tried to reassure me
which really I didn't need. I saw a
young man still a little lost in a new
environment but someone who has
in only 3 weeks changed.
I told her I know he is fine
its my stuff. I said I love my kids
too much if that is possible and it
is hard to let go.
So once again I am physically
and emotionally drained and hope
that it won't take as long this time
to adjust. And keep telling myself
its only 2 more weeks till I get to
see him again.
