He is outta here

So, we dropped off our young man  at the airport a week ago today.  I can't believe I haven't written about it yet; It could be that I'm just too emotional or maybe I had tons of homework to catch up on since the funeral and him leaving, or maybe I just wasn't ready to post this.  Anyhow, here he is, saying goodbye for the last time.  It was happy and sad to see the excitement in his eyes as he prepared to go through security.  I sobbed from his last hug till he got through security and then I was fine.  (I still made Ben take me out for sushi though).

Do you notice something missing from these pictures?  Yes, no picture of the mama with her boy.  I was too afraid I would spontaneously combust and it would be caught on film for all of posterity.  Allison did snap one picture that is my favorite.  I think it makes me look happy even though I'm bawling my head off.
