One of the biggest days of my life...

We took Pat to school today; it went great! Did I cry and blubber my way home through downtown Etown? Not really. Joe and I talked on the way home and while I'm sad that I won't see my boy every single day, I'm thrilled, as this is the day he's been working so hard for the last four years. He's well prepared and he's going to one of the best colleges in the area. I couldn't be happier for him!

Was it hard for Pat? Yes. He hugged me so hard when we said our goodbyes, and I saw a twinkle in his eyes. This may be harder for him than anyone else ... Think about it. He's been King Tut of this domain for years and years; he's been Big Man on Campus for a few of those years. No more... He's a tiny little freshman in a sea of Big Men on Campus... He'll be fine though; I've prepared him for this humbling experience for a long time.

We love our kids so much, don't we?

He indulged me and let me take a few photos throughout the day. I thank him for that; I know how hard that was.

Enjoy the photos, and call me for dinner some night... :)
