I am still holding out hope that TN will change the driving age before then...not because she is a bad driver but because I am NOT ready to let her go!tara lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480471579570637812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996658818827466258.post-84915959562475736032008-11-16T23:56:00.000-05:002008-11-16T23:56:00.000-05:00Girl, this is just the beginning. I'd fill you in...Girl, this is just the beginning. I'd fill you in on what's ahead, but you'd miss out on this "passage of parenthood"! The worst thing next though, is waiting for them to come home, once they are home and safe inside, that's when I can relax. Although I don't think that feeling ever stops no matter how old they are. The one good thing about them going away, like to college, is you don't know what they are doing all of the time so you can't freak out as much :) It's all good...a glass of wine helps too.Brenda Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084762594785245943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996658818827466258.post-47715995796261880472008-11-14T13:05:00.000-05:002008-11-14T13:05:00.000-05:00I am so with you on this one! Today was the first...I am so with you on this one! Today was the first day our son drove to school by himself, in my used (but new to me) pickup truck. Of course it was rainy and foggy with lots of extra traffic (or so it seemed). What a weird feeling, standing in the driveway waving goodby, with him grinning ear-to-ear. I kind of felt increasingly smaller and more insignificant. And it seems like his Mother is taking this a whole lot better than I am. All of those driving lessons came rushing back--I sure hope some of them "stick." Like you said, it is all about helping them become independant and prepared to be out on their own. Just didn't think it would be quite this soon.....garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10404855191914681913noreply@blogger.com
