Thank you all for your sweet prayers & messages😘 We survived the college move it but of course its never traditional with us!! I cried all the way there but soon panicked as I watched Jordan become one of those kids that dad spent so many years highlighting on his sheets during check in. You can physically tell the ones that arent quite so sure about their next phase of life. Change isnt one that I particular care for so I know he inherited it naturally. I immediately knew God had thrown me a curve ball so I could emotionally make it through it. Now instead of my pity party & tears about leaving him I was panicked about him staying. Dad had called & started the tough love routine which only worked for him....at the moment. I told Jordan he could come home since he wasnt required to be there until today at 2pm. Next thing I knew I was helping roommates & other parents set up their computers & printers and my child was GONE... Back home! He went fishing with his buddies, talked to his baseball mentors, dad again & walked in while I was watching Football Saturdays. Of course he sat down to watch his granddaddy being interviewed. Dads first words were You can always outwork people & if you can outwork people you have a chance to be successful. I watched Jordan out of the corner of my eye as I saw him lean into the television as Dad talked about being physical, reckless, intimidation, & the transition of making his players grow up.... They were either gonna grow up and be the most physical team on the field or go home. Jordan smiled, looked at me & said I gotta go to work. So at 11pm he went back to college... for the second time. I knew it was gonna be hard because in all honesty we have actually grown up together. I was thinking on his drive back last night all he has taught me being his mom. Unconditional love, how to fight for what you believe in, never giving up no matter who stands in your way. All of the things we had done together, faced, & overcame as a single mom & her son. Statistically our odds arent that great but then it hit me...Jordan taught me what I had been taught & knew all my life... But as a mom. I now know he just had to leave home his way & in his own time. Im looking forward to this next chapter of his life & quietly cheering him on & off the field (FYI -you cant yell at college baseball games) 😂 Im going to try & spend the next four years differently though!!! As I watched the end of the special I REALLY listened when Dad said... I wish I took more time to enjoy the wins....dont be so busy you dont enjoy it ...It is kinda nice to sit around & hear the birds sing a little bit....You dont know how blessed you are ...God has a plan & I hope I fulfilled His plan ...do the very best you can do & hopefully it pleases as many people as you can but most importantly it pleases yourself with what you accomplished.❤️❤️ Now I know what Ill be doing now that my baby is in College working hard!! 😘😘
