Cindy in the NH Woods Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Our 17 year old first-born child has officially been accepted into nursing school. She is our first PreK- high school graduate. I have such conflicting emotions! Gaahhh! :party::scared::thumbup::laugh::svengo::001_smile::willy_nilly::D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I love the description of all your emotions! Good job Mom!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloumc Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'm in the same boat! Our oldest daughter is soon to graduate from our home school as well! She's been accepted into a fine university and will study history. It's all very bittersweet to me. To be able to come to the completion of this amazing journey with her is a dream come true! To see the job to the end is VERY fulfilling! Yet to see it end is so very heart-wrenching! I'm trusting God for the grace needed during this transitional time! (We still have two more in our home school, so my job is far from over with them!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I have such conflicting emotions! I felt that same way when ER, my firstborn, graduated last spring after having been homeschooled all the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy in the NH Woods Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 And congratulations to all the other moms/magistras on the boards who are graduating their children this year. Thanks to all in this community who have offered such wisdom, encouragement, and practical suggestions. I have been enriched by all of you. (And I'll be sticking around this little life boat while (God willing!) we finish up with the other two.) :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacie in UT Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Been there, done that . . . going there again. We've got one grown child and five to go. It is such a wonderful time in life, but I find myself crying often. After attending college while living at home, our son will be leaving home this summer to serve a two year mission for our church. He has been gone A LOT this past year with activities, work, and clases; and I've adjusted to the fact that I don't plan his school schedule quite easily. But this business of moving out and our family never being quite the same again is just awful for me. The tears come all too easily at the most inopportune moments. I am happy as can be for him, though, so I smile and help him move on to the next chapter of his life. I'm grateful for the extra time we got together because of homeschooling K-12. I wish you well, and may the road ahead bring much joy to you. Stacie -- lovin' my 6 sons :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Et Veritas Academy Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Cindy, Congrats! I would love to chat about your experience sometime. My daughter is just starting Freshman year in NH. Please email me if you are interested- Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nan in Mass Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Yeah! I think... I had to choose this weekend between seeing my 14yo, who is walking to DC, and seeing my oldest, who is a freshman on spring break. I chose the youngest, but was very sad not to see the older one. I only have my middle one home and he'll be gone next year, too, and I'm a mess. It is awesome to see them well launched, though. Congratulations!
