I have been doing well. Maybe it was because I was busy....I still am busy, but I was incredibly busy with student teaching. Don't get me wrong, I still am busy with that, but the class I am in for the final half of my student teaching is a lot more laid back. Maybe it helps that they are younger kids, but not nearly the work that I was dishing out for the other grade.
Anyway, I was doing okay until today. Not sure what hit today, but today I miss Garrett. No it is nothing like when he left, I just miss his presence here. I have pondered what caused this shift from being okay to just missing him today. Maybe it could be that that time of month is approaching......sheesh, I hate that time of month. Maybe it was because we went out of town over the weekend and Garrett was not there with us. Maybe it is that every Monday I get an email from Garrett and today it just made me miss him. Maybe it is that on Monday, I have been able to catch him online and today wasn't any different, we chatted for a while. In between whatever he was doing on the computer and me with my class. But we still chatted. And we joked back and forth. I don't know what it was, but all of the sudden it hit me when he said, I have to go, Love ya, bye. He has said that every time we have chatted, but today....today it hit me. I miss him.
I am so proud of him though. He sounds like he is doing well. He sounds like he is enjoying his time. He sounds like things are flying by for him. He sounds like a truly wonderful young man that is doing wonderful thins in Florida.
I guess as a mom you just always worry about them and hope that they are doing okay and today wasn't any different.
I have been told that this will happen. I guess I was just surprised that it just hit from out of nowhere.
Oh well....I guess I need to stay busy so I can suppress these emotions...or not let my aunt Flo come for her monthly visit :)
