I just hope (like Justin) he'll make one last return before finally flying the coop forever. <BR/><BR/>It's bittersweet. We want them to be men but we can't help but want them to forever stay our little boy.<BR/><BR/>Donna<BR/>Our blog: <A HREF="http://2happy.typepad.com" REL="nofollow">Double Happiness!</A>Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717351421043156637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10518106.post-68879670809513548362008-07-03T22:59:00.000-04:002008-07-03T22:59:00.000-04:00Awww Lori... you gave me tears too!

I know sometimes I can look at Hanna and it seems like just yesterday I held her in my arms for the first time. 8.5 years passed in the blink of an eye and Rylee's "baby" time is just passing way to fast.

He's not far away either, which is a positive. I know you'll miss him and he'll miss all of you too. Good Luck, Justin!Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295079361015465331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10518106.post-64641688373041088682008-07-02T06:53:00.000-04:002008-07-02T06:53:00.000-04:00Missy Big Sissy - I know that must have been hard....Missy Big Sissy - I know that must have been hard...He is such a sweet young man and now he has pushed off to his next chapter.

We laughed about how you were going to cry because it's what mothers do.<BR/><BR/>You have raised a wonderful, loving young man. Justin truly is a son to be proud of. Perhaps it has a little something to do with the mother & father who guided him with love, honesty & friendship.<BR/><BR/>Besides, we all know that Justin will be around. After all, who's going to teach the Dynamic Duo how to handle their parents!?Tammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445009162437948172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10518106.post-13190952316876050912008-07-01T21:56:00.000-04:002008-07-01T21:56:00.000-04:00WOW Lori!

I still get misty eyed when the Ogre starts the new school year. (this year is high school) He will come home - my Dad says they always come back. <BR/>There will be no empty nest for us for at least 15 more years. <BR/>Hugs coming your way!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09107978473861347142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10518106.post-82514138855866090462008-07-01T21:46:00.000-04:002008-07-01T21:46:00.000-04:00He is not gone, not really. And he will be back, ...He is not gone, not really. And he will be back, even if only for visits.<BR/>You should be very proud, not just of your son, but of yourself. You are an inspiration to me, and I think in between the tears you should take a moment or two to pat yourself on the back as well!<BR/>Good thing I am not there, you always manage to make me cry. I think I will have as hard of a time when our turn comes (hopefully not for a loooong time!).<BR/>Huge hugs dear friend!Vivian Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901008350652019275noreply@blogger.com
