Not ready to have another senior. At least we have a large age gap for the last one. Having done this once before I can tell you, you are never ready for the emotions it produces within you. You expect life to change when you are the senior and you graduate, and you have to find you own way soon. As a parent, you don't really expect the emotions, now that you have finished this job, which also starts to feel like you did not take enough time to just enjoy. Too busy making dinner, folding laundry, paying bills, and all the work, but not enough of the good stuff. I look through my photos and I know there was a lot of good stuff, but still not enough. You too as a parent start to realize this is going to change you as well.
