This Moment

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Happy Friday!


And so it begins...

Inspired by Amanda Soule - Feel free to join in and share a link to your moment.

Just a little side note:  Everything went smoothly yesterday and Number One Son is now officially a college student.  The tears were minimal on my part...as in just a few the night before, in the bathroom, where no one saw them.  I'm sure it will hit hard later this week in my VERY quiet house. Thank you everyone for your kind words, encouragement and support.  It meant the world to me knowing had you as a phenomenal back up system.  Thanks again for lending me your strength!

  3. Good for you on bravely sending him off (and crying in private) It is hard for them if they know mama is hurting a lot. (I pretend that I am oh so wise.. hahaha.. and all the while I am only 4 years older than your son tehehe)
