Tomorrow we take Mark to George Fox. I have a lot of mixed emotions. I am happy for him to go, but I know I will miss him very much. I was pondering on why I'm having problems letting go this time and I realized;
We missed the opportunity to start Joel out his freshman year, so we are feeling what we would have felt last year.
Mark is leaving the nest, even though he has been staying with his grandparents, we were still a part of his life, we helped transport him to work, to CCC and to other activities, he was only 10 min away.
Most of all, on Sept 11th we will leave both boys behind when we go back to North Africa, It seems so final, they are now men, who can take care of themselves. They have both proved that this year and especially this summer. Even both guys will be at Fox, I will be missing times I can be with them for special occasions or just because.
I will miss them in North Africa, But I am looking forward to seeing where the Lord leads them and am grateful for family and friends who will be keeping an eye out for them.
thanks.
