I just found out that my brother was accepted into a group home in Shreveport, LA. Its a really really awesome facility, and they take great care of the kids apparently. Most of them say its like a constant vacation. The only thing is he leaves for "college" as were calling it, on tuesday. Tuesday?! It seems soon but I guess its the best thing. It will be really good for him and hopefully he will like it, but I'm just worried. I want to be there with him as he gets used to this completely new life, and I want to be able to comfort him. He doesnt do change well and I'm nervous for him to do this alone. He will have all kinds of fun, and I will see him as often as I do, this is just a life change that completely blind sided me. I know I'm all over the place in this entry but I'm just a tad bit emotional. I was his mom through 7th, 8th, and part of 9th grade, and you cant just turn that off. goodness gracious. I am picking him up from summer camp on friday, so I get a whole 3.5 hours in the car of patting his leg and telling him I love him while he gives me a smile and then his "gosh youre annoying" face. that should help.
