I just left Sal at college and I’m crying in the passenger side seat right now.
I had Sal when I was 23.
I don’t remember being 23.
I do remember Sal when I was 23.
A little while after she was born, alone with my baby in the hospital, a nurse took her from my arms and wheeled her down the hall to give me a break.
I felt like part of myself had been taken, wheeled into another part of the hospital, when it should be with me. This feeling today is far worse. She’s been in my care, every day, down the hall, in the kitchen, brushing her hair, for every year I can clearly remember of my life.
This is that same hospital pain, compounded with 18 years of falling more and more in love, growing exponentially being wheeled away from me by time itself.
It’s time.
It sucks.
It’s time and time is a fucker.

pigletlover73 My home town & she needs to be careful & super aware b/c we have many women drugged & raped every damn weekend sadly! It is hidden quite a bit but if you dig, you can get some stats on how much this happens in IV & on State St bars & late night food spots. Please let her know & remind her she does NOT have to set her drink down to have this happen-she can have it in her hand, hug someone or look away & boom! I don't want to scare either of you but she NEEDS to be cautious in my beautiful little town! DM me if you want to discuss-I tried to make something for the bars to prevent this but they would not use it...sigh.❤

jennperrius @kellyoxford I literally had to start Prozac last year after my first went off to school. I could not get my shit together. I’m not kidding. That feeling is exactly as you described it. My whole adult life was spent raising him and then the next 4. Good luck mama. It does get better. They do come home. And your relationship changes for the better too... And in the meantime, medicate.

iseeshasta Oh, god I thought my heart was being ripped out of my chest that day. 😢 Beverly Beckham said it best...”To grow a child, a body changes. It needs more sleep. It rejects food it used to like. It expands and it adapts. To let go of a child, a body changes, too. It sighs and it cries and it feels weightless and heavy at the same time. Cry your eyeballs out.

momalawler You probably won't see this because so many have commented but this is one of the most articulate explanations of the feeling of seeing a child off to college that I've ever read...........I have felt it four times and each has been heartbreaking........thank you for sharing this part of motherhood...💕

untreateddepressionista I've had a pretend feud going on with you for years, because we had a spat on #twitter and all of Canada attacked me, and you made fun of my (crappy) Zen blog. But I'm a mom of 7 ...6 of them are adults.... And it never stops sucking that they're living their own lives. I feel ya, sister. 😭❤️

juliaethomson Christ this has just made me cry into my chicken wings! I got upset the other night when my 2 year old decided she no longer wanted to have her bedtime story sitting on my knee. So starting uni is going to require tranquillisers! Sending you the biggest hug. Daughters are the absolute nuts xx
