off to college

A friend of mine sent her oldest off to college this weekend.  Such a concept has hardly entered my mind, a child leaving home.  I am sure it is a bittersweet moment.  You raise your kids to be independent and a healthy functioning member of society, but when the time comes to release them into the world, I'm sure the desire is to clutch them tighter.  I'm praying for my friend today and for her son: that they both would know the Lord's peace in this time.  Blessings.
