Saying Goodbye is hard to do

In her post on Career Hubs blog "Letting Go" Billie Sucher talks about saying good bye to her son who is a second year law student. It made me think of all the times I said good by to my kids. The first time they got on the bus to go to Kindergarten, the first time they took off in the car by themselves and when they left for college.

It does become more difficult to say good by to our kids, especially as they enter their 20's. As young adults, they are just more fun to be around. They are entertaining, they help out (sometimes) and are not as self absorbed as teenagers. As they (and we) grow older, we also realize how short time can be, and how important it is to enjoy every moment together.
