my son is getting ready to go off to college and i find myself so happy and sad at the same time . i 'm just remembering all the wonderful times we had with him growing up . it went so quickly ! well you knew that you would have to let go one day , did n't you ? yes , i have always known that , and i know it 's a great thing . but it 's hard not to feel emotional about it . life is about to really change . we have only one option when it comes to change , embrace it !
The son going off to college is the cause triggering the sentimental feelings.
