….I just couldn't breathe

Today I watched my oldest get in a car, pull away, and drive himself to school for the first time.

And I just couldn't breathe.

I hope that you weren't in need of any extra angels today, because I asked God to send a mountain of them to go with him.

And I just couldn't breathe.

Letting go is hard.  I realize that every age has it's difficulties.  But this….this is down right you ought to get a medal in heaven for this kind of hard.  You can't bypass this.  There is no passing go or get out of jail free card.  This is….teenagers.

And I just couldn't breathe.
