Aw, I know how that feels! The first time I left L for a night he did just fine, and I did too (I blogged about that), but then little things will make me cry, like leaving him at preschool for a couple of hours or even seeing ANOTHER mom drop off her son for the first time (didn’t blog about that – too embarrassing). So hard to leave them

[...] aches. Even my left earlobe can barely support its own weight. I can, however, hug my children (who did just fine without me, thank you very much). Because the ache to hold a creature such as this is far, far stronger than [...]

wow. am i the only mother who has the simple, unadulterated feeling of JOY at the thought of leaving the sprogs behind? even the 9 month old. heck, particularly the 9 month old. can’t wait to get on that plane and not afraid to say it.

have missed my 6 and 8 yo for two WEEKS now, and this third week will be the last. I’m sure they will have grown at least an inch. and I KNOW that we all missed each other. And that we all have so much to share and to grow about. It’s all good. Part of the life cycle…

I am so sorry to tell you this but this will happen again and again as they get older. The first day of school I was a wreck. Walking away from the school I didn't think I would make it all the way home before my heart broke. The first time they went on a school sleep away trip I thought my heart was being pulled out. And now just talking to my son about the colleges he is looking at I start to cry. They are such a gift and I know we raise them to grow up and become independent but my heart breaks just thinking about it. Hope you have a great trip. .-= Ann´s last blog ..Running Away =-.

I've been apart from my still nursing twenty month old a precious few times in his life; the longest being a 4 night trip halfway across the country. In my admittedly limited experience I've found that the anticipation of leaving him is much harder than actually being gone. Once I am distracted by my new environment I can really settle in and trust that he is having as good a time as I am. I hope the same for you. Praying for you and your trip. .-= juli´s last blog ..Then and Now =-.

I remember the first time I left my very clingy Rascal at around ~16mo. It was for a trip to Bermuda for a friend’s wedding. I went on my own and left the hub with the kids. It was SO hard. But, I QUICKLY let go of the sadness and enjoyed the heck out of myself. This time to ourselves is so key to our happiness, and to our children’s — whether they know it or not.
