My heart is with all the moms who recently moved their first or their last off to college. ♥️
Last weekend, we moved our youngest into his college dorm.
And yes, he is only 30 minutes away. Apparently, that is supposed to make the transition easy. Respectfully… that is not how motherhood works. 😂
Whether they move 30 minutes away or across the country, the distance isn’t really the point. It’s realizing that a season that shaped your everyday life for so many years will never look quite the same.
I’m incredibly proud of Isaac and excited for everything ahead of him. After all, this is what we raise our children to do, to step confidently into lives of their own.
During his high school years, we traveled to more than 80 cities around the world together, so this future filmmaker should have plenty of stories and experiences to draw from. 😉
Our role as moms never ends, but it does change. We release them, trust what we’ve poured into them, and learn to cheer them on from a little farther back.
Go make this season yours, Isaac. I’m so proud of you and I’ll always be right here, just 30 minutes away. 🥹
