My Heart is Broken

Yesterday morning my mom came with Dan and I to take Kipp to Orlando International Airport to send him off to Ireland. I havent been able to stop my crying outbursts and even lost it at the grocery store this am(the Jim Croce song operator came on). It was too difficult to see all the things i'd buy for him. Right now I'm doing laundry and some of his clothes are there. I'll fold them and put them in his room and probably loose it again.
Kipp is my only child and has been a wonderful son. I knew this day was coming and there were times when i thought this day wouldnt come soon enough. I regret those thoughts as i would welcome the wet towels on the bed or the dried cheese stuck on the pots or all the very small things that sometimes annoy us our kids/adult kids do. I miss him so much my heart is so broken i cannot even think clearly. Whenever someone talks to me i just start crying and rambling. But I am extremely proud of him. He is brave to go on his own but this is a son whose arm was broken in a high school soccer game and he continued playing. He always surprises us :).
here are some pics of the thurs. before he left(with my mom and sister) and sat am on the way to the airport and at the airport. Oh and our dog Henry has been so depressed, Kipp took a pic of him actually in one of his suitcases and when we were leaving sat am he kept trying to sit on Dan's fee. Henry loves Kipp so much too poor Archie Henry wont let him in Kipp's room.
The pic is on Kipp's phone and i wish i had it now to share.


























Letting go is so difficult but time is the great healer. I miss him so very very much,all those years together as a lil family and he must go on a become the man we want him to be and all he can be. It just hurts so much to let him go.
