Parenting is a Racket

Pareting is a racket. It must be. Why else would we have to send our kids out into the cruel world after nurturing them and teaching them and helping them for 18 years. I think the kids who head off to college are probably ready, but the parents aren't. I know I'm not. It's all downhill from here. Evan will barely be home a few weeks at the end of the school year before he's off on his mission.

The good part? He texted me today and said, "this is where I'm supposed to be". So if he's happy, I'm happy.

He's gonna love BYU and he's only an hour away!
