The firstborn left the nest for good this morning.
My oldest, C.J., climbed into his rental truck and left the nest; heading to NYC to start his first job. He's only been home from grad school in London for less than two weeks and now he's gone again. There's so much more I wanted to say to him but I couldn't find all the words.
I know them leaving home, to go out on their own and start a new chapter in their lives, is why we bring children into this world. While somewhat sad, I am touched with much pride that he is now on his own and that perhaps my wife and I did something right along the way that will serve him well.
This calls for nice Lagavulin and a Club Epicure (thanks Kerry) tonight.
