Hi Gina – Thanks for the comment! It seems many moms (and dads) share our feelings. Thanks also for sharing the lyrics to the McGarrigle Sisters’ song First Born Son. The lyrics are spot on!

How lucky for me that you chose to share your thoughts right now. Matt is graduating from college tomorrow. It’s the first time I’ve ever really felt the bitter sweetness of something. He’s moving into new territory where I’ll have less and less input, less and less contact. When he was born, I played the song “First Born Son” to him over and over again as I rocked him to sleep. It’s by the McGarrigle Sisters. Here’s a sample:

The silver spoon’s in the mouth
Baby clothes are baby-blue
Nothing’s ever handed down
Everything’s brand new

He’s the first to creep and the first to crawl
The first to walk and the first to fall
Every bruise is kissed, every cry is heard
Every doubt’s cast out with a soothing word

That first born son, that son of a gun
Just hates to walk, just loves to run
He loves to run as fast as he can
With life held tight in the palm of his hand

Beautiful sentiments.

Dad and I had the same exact feelings years ago, tho not expressed in such a warmhearted way, but felt it nevertheless. For you and Jeff, you both have qualities of deserving an A+ for parenting skills. (Of course, that only came from us)
So to our children, grandchildren, and soon a great grandchild, know this:
wherever you are, near or far, you’re in our hearts, and don’t forget, we’ll always leave a light on for you. Love, Nanny and Pa

Thanks Linnell, for your eloquence in putting to paper all those thoughts in my head, as my kids travel farther and farther away from their “mom tether”…

The marvel is that we created individuals, that they think for themselves, and are separate from us. The comfort is that what you modeled and instiiled over all of these years, is what they carry with them into the next generation. They are a source of wonder – always. Mom love is a strong force. Congrats to Adam and to his parents.

Linell, you are sooo good at expressing your feelings! this is so sweet, it IS so hard to let go,your right we have taught them all of their lives that they can do what ever they put their minds to. We encourage them to follow their dreams and their hearts and then we have a tough time when they do.I am sure you are proud of him for this change in his life. Seems like life changes all the time! Of course you can give your son my # if he needs anything. Keep smiling,love, Eileen
