Saying Goodbye

This morning I took my middle child to the airport to fly to California for a school-sponsored camping trip before he begins his freshman year of college.  Even though we will see him again on Wednesday when we head out to help move him into the dorms, today felt momentous.  

Saying goodbye is both easy, and hard; bitter, and sweet; a start, and a finish.  I think this is especially true for mothers. 

One of our members on MidChix, Mama Holli, who you may know from her fabulous blog, Nobody Puts Mama in the Corner, started a Flock & Forum for Chix with Baby Chicks Flying the Coop.  Whether your chicks are off to college, careers, marriage, war, or even just moving down the street, this is the place where we share our stories, tears, tips, fears, joys and just about anything we want to share about baby chicks leaving the nest!


If you'd like to read more about my goodbye with Kevin, I invite you to register for MidChix.com, and join the Flock. It's free, it's fun, and it's a special place where you can go when you want to write something that you can share, but just not share with the whole world...
