The final weekend-at-home is now wrapping up, he heads back this coming Saturday.

I will share one simple fact that I find (no pun really intended) sobering.

I don't think he's had a single drink in over a week. He's had 2 in the past month. Some of that is, of course, environmental. Aaaaand some of it ain't.

Last thing he said before crashing last night (well, this morning) after watching the G1 Climax Final "I don't wanna go back to Oxford". Not in a comically whiny tone or anything, just very matter of fact.

It's beyond wonderful to know that your grown child still enjoys & appreciates simply being at home ... and it's a gut punch to know they aren't particularly more enthused about leaving than you are about them leaving.

I'm sorry folks but, honestly, this doesn't seems to get any easier to me from one year to the next.
