Those are prayer clothes right?

Nice.

But he’d rather hear it from you direct.

You know, cut out the middle man and pass the savings on to him?

Believe me, we spent a lot of time together over the past little while and he heard lots of things from me direct.

Actually, we've spent a fair bit of time together over the past 18 years and he's heard lots of things from me directly.

I didn't always homeschool him but I've always been very involved with his education. It's been a true blessing and the greatest gift in my life to raise three children who are deep, who aren't afraid to ask questions, and who I'm proud to call my children.

Very emotional time of Allen’s departure from home into his new chapter. Thank you for sharing this journey. He is in God’s hands and you’re only a prayer away. Looking forward to see all God has in store for him. God bless you Bonita.

Thank you, Victoria. It will feel strange driving back home this weekend and him staying up in Idaho, but he's excited to be here and I know the Lord will bless and keep him.

Yes the Lord will give him a great experience and adventure in college! Almost like you did going to India at even a younger age. Just look what happened to you there! You had big decisions and your wonderful life partner was waiting for you there. ❤️❤️

“My son asked if I was okay by myself at the Airbnb.”

Such a sweetheart ♥️

I don’t think empty nesting per se gets easier on *all levels* but we adjust as humans. Don’t bottle up the feelings, cry when you need to and be kind to yourself. I LOVE YOU!!

PS Happy birthday, beautiful sister❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
