[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 417854, member: 4264"] Hi all. Don't have much time to post as easy child is arriving home from school any minute and I have to take her to first appointment with the orthodontist in preparation for her braces. I wanted to tell you all that my Matt is flying the coop :(. I'm so sad. I know he has to take his own risks and spread his wings etc but I also feel in many ways he is ill prepared. I am so grateful our relationship is night and day to what it was when I joined the board all those years ago. We have been able to talk a LOT about the possibility of things not working out right away, what to do if he needs to come home again, what my expectations are, bringing his goals into a realistic realm so he goes into this with eyes open instead of with rose colored glasses. We have a plan for if his plans go awry for him to return home safely and without much notice on a bus etc. He's leaving next weekend on a greyhound to Alberta (We are in Ontario). It's so far away. :( He has a place to live and is starting a job training type program in a few weeks. It pays him for 2 months to do training then they find him a job. I miss him already :( [/QUOTE]
