The LC

It takes a lot to amaze me.  Not so much to make me cry though (just lately!).  Today, I was lucky enough to experience both.  But tears through a smile are the best.  While Will was finishing up his first week of band camp and Jeff was wrapping up a crazy week at work, Mom, Dad, Charlie and I got to spend the afternoon wrapping up the Leadership Collaborative with Hunter.  And yes, Ohio State knows how to put on a show.  I don't know if it was the slideshow of the weeks events, the singing of Carmen Ohio or the parade of signs that tugged at my heart.  I'm guessing it was a combination of all of it.  And s we drove home for our last weekend before Hunter moves into his new home, I realized how lucky and proud I am.  Lucky to have such wonderful boys, lucky to see Hunter take such a courageous step and proud to be not only his mom, but part of an amazing group of people that will support him on his journey.  Undoubtedly, this weekend will be short, it will be filled with lots of hugs and lots of tears (and a lot of sleep for Hunter!).  But it will also be filled with the excitement.  It's not often enough that you get to start the rest of your life.
