My son, Jake graduated from school last summer, with dreams of going to art school and becoming a documentary filmmaker in third world countries. His good buddy and he were all fired up and moving an hour away. We stocked his furnished apartment with all the necessities. TV, movies, a few towels and bedding. We even bought him a coffee pot, even though he hates coffee. It was his idea, I think he wanted to look grownup.
He worked real hard all semester, and got great grades. I worked for days cleaning out his room. I didn't know dust bunnies could be so tall! I got used to having him gone. It really wasn't that hard. He was ready to be on his own, and what I didn't know didn't bother me.
He's back now, and decided to forego the filmmaking career to something else. He wants to attend the community college until he's further into his life. Now I have to get used to having him home. Well, its not that hard having him home, its just the video games are back, and the noise travels on our tile floors.
I love Jake, and so glad he can move in and out so easily. Right now he's here, but one of these days he'll move on again.
I think I'll keep the coffeepot handy.
