I thought giving birth was hard, I didn’t expect sending my baby to college was harder. I gave myself ample time to prepare for this day – since he was 4th grade when I dropped him off at a week long overnight music camp. I rehearsed this in my head numerous times how this day would go. Yet when we’re here and with all the emotions building up, it seems so surreal.
I went to college, drove myself in the wee hours without bidding farewell to anyone and trying not my best not to wake them up. I remembered my dad helped me load up the car. He didn’t say much and I hopped inside the car without much to say. I stomped on the gas and didn’t look back in the rear view mirror.
Years later, I going through the college again, except this time I’m standing on the other side. I now know exactly how my parents felt back then. I wished I could rewind time and give them a heartfelt hug. I would wipe off their tears and tell them I will be ok.
Funny how we spend all these years as parents preparing our children, showing them to move bravely and courageously through their life and then without much warning, they turn back and let us know we should be doing exactly just that.
This was our first time setting foot on the campus. It’s still quiet and many buildings weren’t allowing visitors. We roamed around wherever we could. It was a beautiful (and hot) day to do that.
Last year the boys weren’t able to make it to their annual camping trip. So this year, the camp’s organization made it up by taking them to a backpacking trip! To Yosemite!!! How cool is that??!! Initially I didn’t want them to go because as Dai Bee’s heading off to college soon, I thought I would keep him for a few more days. ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶ Dai Bee insisted since it was his last year joining this group, plus a backpacking, at Yosemite? When is that going to happen? I pondered for a little and agreed with him. This would be an once in a lifetime experience for sure and leave them with great memories. I can’t say ‘no’ to that. See you guys in 10 days and can’t wait to hear those interesting stories!
Thanks to Photoshop, I was able to clip them onto this beautiful background. Though I’m not there with them in person, I can totally imagine the great time they will have.
