Empty nest again!

I will eventually post some more pictures of my trip to Galax and Nashville but for now I wanted to add a few of my son Josh. He left for college in Vermont again today and it never ceases to amaze me how a little piece of my heart is broken every time he leaves. Each trip home seems shorter and shorter and I find myself wishing that he had chosen a school that was closer or never gone to college at all! I think that is the problem sometimes, only having one child, that it is so much more difficult to let go. But he arrived there safely tonight after his 9 hour drive and is happy to be back with his friends. I hope that this will be the best semester ever for him and I can't wait to see him again in the fall.
And to all you mum's out there who are feeling a little bit teary like me, just remember - you are not alone.





Hoping everyone has a great week ahead ~ Anji XxX

  1. What a loving Mom you are and oh how I relate to your 'longing'.
    These images are gorgeous Angi - they are so delicate...as is all of your work - there is such a fragility that speaks to me of how sensitive your eye is.

  4. I remember when we had to take our son Josh to get settled in at Collage in Arizona, I think I cried all the way home, and it was about a 16 hour drive and a few boxes of kleenex. Hugs to you and it gets easier over time.
    Those darn apron strings! Love your photos of Josh!
