A New Beginning

Yesterday we took Harrison to the Charlotte airport for his departure into his future. Surprisingly I was able to hold it together for the most part. I only cried a little. I know this is a good move for him because he will be with people who like him and will be a great influence on him. In fact, I couldn't ask for better people for him to be around. Furthermore, he will develop his independence and be challenged to grow, which is what is supposed to happen, but I will definitely miss him - as exasperating as he can be at times.

After we got back we all got busy cleaning out his bedroom to turn it into Mckenzie's room. I started in on the closet, and I found that most of what we are giving a rent free home to isn't worth saving. It feels so good to remove the junk that clutters up our lives. I have a HUGE pile for Goodwill, a HUGE pile for the trash, and a few things to sell on Ebay. We filled up another box to send to Harrison - I hope he can find a spot for it - and overall we had a good time together. I'm going to be okay.

We are supposed to get some snow tonight. I hope it's enough to cancel classes tomorrow. My life would be perfect.
