It’s that time of year when graduation celebrations begin. Here on campus, seniors graduate and take first call, middles start their summer Greek and CPE, while juniors prepare for internship. Most will move, few will stay. Friendships that were formed, will now stand the test of the meaning of “true friends.”
It might sound harsh, but it happens to everyone. Here on campus, the life is very transient. Students and families come and go. There will be tears of joy and sorrow. Tears for the those which are left behind and that which the future holds.
So what’s a spouse/mom/gal to do? I for one see new hobbies, a chance to start over, make new friends, and hopefully some joyous laughter. I plan to try my best to stay in touch with the person, who’s helped me through this year as she follows her husband to his first call.
This is not to be a Debbie downer blog, but it is scary. Time has flown since Doug started classes, and then the move to campus. I never thought I’d see internship, it felt so far away. But it’s here, and in a few short weeks, we will be attending our new church. I’m sure that time will fly by too.
I have no idea the plans God has for me and our family. But I’m thankful for the opportunities, the struggles, the friends and people we met along the way. At times we feel alone, yet looking back we see where the support, love and strength come from.
God is with us. Good luck to everyone here on campus. May God continue to bless you always.
