The last picture of them together...
A "Noogie" to remember me...
A kiss you least expect because I really do love you...
This one brought tears...We had one last group hug and prayed over the Prince before we sent him home for the night. When we finished, he draped his arms over my shoulder and began to pray aloud over me...thanking God for a Mother like me ("The best mom in the world") and then he moved on to his sister and prayed over her, and then his father, saying the sweetest words of thanks to our God for his family. When I looked at the King, his eyes were filled with unshed tears. We are abundantly proud of our young man and terribly sorry to see this time of life arrive.
There is more to share...just not right now. We are adjusting. He is doing famously well! We've talked to him several times and he and his roommate are getting along. His dorm parents loved him the moment that he started answering questions without them having to PULL the answers out of him.
We've already been told by a friend who lives there that two separate people pointed the Prince out and commented on what a fine young man he is. We couldn't be more proud of him and we couldn't miss him more.
