My kids are both away at school (one just called with mono) and you miss those road trips. My favs were road trips when we didn't have much money. We had love. My favorite line is "he is a daddy and a husband, not just a man with a family." I have one of those and they are keepers.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841767868797265391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011147856536694402.post-12692126680660581692013-03-20T13:47:36.141-07:002013-03-20T13:47:36.141-07:00Such great memories!

It's so scary. In December, I left Las Vegas to move to South Carolina, leaving my 22 year old son behind (his father moved to Arizona some years back). I have moments of terror wondering how someone would be able to let me know if something has happened. He has a girlfriend along with her family but that really does nothing to abate my fear. After all, what if my baby needs his mommy? They may grow up and move away, but they'll always be our babies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011147856536694402.post-68427466780194620572013-03-20T06:18:04.902-07:002013-03-20T06:18:04.902-07:00That's so great that your road trips are about...That's so great that your road trips are about making memories rather than about getting from point A to point B.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538106233407301480noreply@blogger.com
