dorm room

Today we delivered Mani to his new room, he will stay here for the next 6 months while studying. He is only 12 kms away but I feel very mixed emotions about it all.

best of luck to both of you as he embarks on this adventure. never easy for mom.

[Daniela Russo]

My son I only 4 but I'm fretting the day he moves out already. I hope he enjoys his new home and you don't miss him too much.

[Yao RL]

I wonder what he is going to study. Letting go is hard business for mum.

[JanM]

It's tough being a mum and having to let go. Very exciting to be young and let go though. Keep yourself busy.

[Lisa Malecki]

been there, it's tough

[Caroline]

Ah I can't imagine. I dread the day. Sure it was hard for my parents but my dad had a heart-to-heart with me to say that they'll be there for me no matter what if I need anything... As I'm sure he knows that, he'll do awesome. :)

[Caroline]

Oh and he has a quiet happiness about him, I like this shot!!

@jackies365 @lisainstpete @kerosene @janm @yaorenliu @photographynewbie i only have one left at home now,!!! of all my boys he is the one i have the most concern about whether he will take care of himself, but things haven't been good while he is at home so time to try another approach to life... lets all wish him well, He has been studying jade carving for over a year already,

[Krista Marson]

Jade carving?! Wasn't expecting to read that. How utterly cool. I wish him much success and happiness in his endeavors.

@blueberry1222 the happiness and applying his skills for success are exactly the big challenges for him! yes he makes very lovely things, i should have taken some photos of his collection before he took them away.

[Lesley Chisholm]

Hugs to you Mama!! I hope this big independent step is one in the right direction for him. At least you aren't far away for visits if need be!

[Stephanie Swift]

Hope all goes well for him. I like his face.

[Rita]

Well done, nice that he has not gone too far. We must let them fly but it is hard to see them go

[Wendy Elwood]

Good on you Mani, hope all works out well for him and I do sympathise with your nearly empty nest

[kali]

[Wendy Elwood]
