Today is Sacha’s last day. We went to Port-Cros an island off of south of France. We hiked 30 minutes to an isolated beach to go snorkling.
Then we hiked back to the boat.
And now we are having the last supper…
Wish you were here.

I feel your pain…but just think of the HAPPY he is feeling..be careful don’t make him guilty…when you let them fly free thay always come back loving you all the more because you let them be them.
-
Oh darling Corey, He is after all going to Grandmas House…He’ll be with his family…you can come visit…all is well…this is a wonderful opportunity for your whole family.
-
We all feel your heaviness of heart today. I wish Sacha a good and safe journey, and I wish you and FH a soul-strengthening, cathartic cry after the final waves and kisses good-bye. Kraaaaaam! (Swedish for big hug!)

I know how sad you must feel but at least you know he will not be gone that long. I remember the day I left for the docks of NY to sail to England, that last photo of me and my dad, I’ll never forget that look of sadness on both our faces. I only wish I could’ve told dad it would be for just a year. The year will fly by, and you will have a reason to go back to America to visit your family. An opportunity like this does not happen for every young person, consider it a learning experience for Sasha and a chance for you and FH to have more time together.

Enjoy the last evening as best you can Corey. Before you know he will be back home and tell you about all the adventures he has experienced. And you will certainty tell him about yours. I am sure he will have a fantastic year, and of course you will have it too 🙂
Lots of supportive hugs,
Aina -
Corey, you are in my thoughts & prayers during this time of transition. I find your posts full of grace, love, and passion . . .your words have taught many of us to see things so differently. I’m sure we will be learning more as we follow you through this new journey.

Oh, Corey. I am thinking of you. I am too close to my last child leaving.(he is a junior in high school). It is a sobering thought. I can tell your children adore you – they will always come back. How could they not, with you for their mom?
-
nah…just the last supper till the next one..
xoxo -
I just put my darling granddaughter on a plane back to Montana, so this post is very timely. I hate goodbyes! Having older childern who have left home, I know it is bittersweet. You will miss him terribly, but it’s a new chapter for you and FH – spend a day or two bawling, then look forward to a seeing him in a year and to enjoying a new “adult” life. Those fly-away children do come home again!
-
saw your fb post first so knew what to expect… I am still laughing, smiling, and crying for you…. boy’s—–Mom’s what can I say, there is nothing quite like it. Love you
-
You sound so gloomy and yet you had a wonderful day! Hope you took lots of pictures to share…the water must have been so beautiful! I’m sure your son will be just fine with his grandma and family in northern California. Perhaps you and FH should plan to visit family in California for Christmas 😉
-
Christmas in California sounds really nice for you & Yann..since both of your children will be there already..
-
At least you know Sacha will be staying with your Mom and they can look after one another. Is Sacha going to help with the rice harvest?
Hope you come to California soon and make that side trip up here. -
Corey don’t think of it as an ending. Think of it as a beginning for you and Sacha. The first day of the rest of your life as they say. A huge adventure for both of you.
-
You will be OK, I promise.
They always come back!
🙂 -
Thinking of you…
-
Sacha must be so excited and also sad, too. Be well and know you are well loved. xoxoxoxo
-
Wishing Sacha a safe journey…and Corey, having your children in Northern CA are the best 2 reasons to visit “home” again. ((hugs))
-
I can feel your sadness, and your happiness for Sacha. I guess this is what bittersweet feels like. I think it’s wonderful that he’ll be at your wonderful mom’s home. A nice perch for your fledgling.

One chapter ends, another begins.
Life’s story… -
How exciting and sad at the same time. This is a special day. Kia kaha, Corey, FH, and Sacha.

Your program sounds nice – even if Sacha’s last …
Thinking of you ! -
I am sad for you today sweetheart, Jx

Corey, I am 50 and have a beautiful grandchild, age 2. Wait until your children continue to grow, mature, marry and have children. I thought I couldn’t love anymore than I already did when I had my children. Now, having a grandchild, well, I the love is indescribable. You have much to look forward to and, as some have already posted, it is the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one and many, many more with beautiful twists and turns, new kinds of celebrations. Embrace it.

I’ve been following you for some time now, and haven’t commented yet. But reading your posts lately, about the kids leaving, I just had to say {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} mom. I went through the empty nest syndrome too. Cry when you want to, and know that it does get better with time. Taking a course or class, like a pottery class, or a trip somewhere really different, could be a help.
Give yourself lots of credit, and hugs, for being such a good mom all these years. -
Oh, Corey,
Sending you hugs… and helping you cry… -
Ack, I can feel those feelings right now, but for sure Sacha feels them too. The night before I left home for a year when I was about his age my parents and I sat and had a totally miserable, almost silent dinner! It’s funny to me looking back now, but I think we were all in shock and there was nothing we could say…and I did come back, for my mum of course!
