Dear Diary,
As I sit here thinking about my son starting his senior year of high school, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. It’s the last year he’ll be at home full-time before heading off to whatever comes next for him. It’s a big deal, and my heart feels it.
I’m realizing how important it is to soak up every moment we’ve got left as a family of four at home. My son’s taking steps toward adulthood, and things are changing. It’s exciting but also a bit sad.
This year is about making memories. Whether it’s a family vacation or just a regular movie night, we’re grabbing every chance to spend time together. It’s about being a family, right here, right now.
The year ahead means lots of opportunities. Opportunities to laugh together, talk about the big stuff and the little stuff, and just be there for each other. It’s our last chance to do all this while living under the same roof, and I don’t want to waste a second of it.
Time’s flying, and it’s hard not to think about how our family will look different soon. But instead of worrying, I’m focusing on creating a loving and supportive space for all of us. It’s not just about getting my son ready for his next chapter, but also about keeping our family ties strong, no matter where life takes us.
So, as we go through this last year together, I’m all in. I want to remember the good times, be there through the challenges, and just love my family as much as I can while we’re still all here in the same house. This year is our chance to keep building our family’s story, and I can’t wait to make it the best chapter yet.
Savoring the moments,
Me
