He's like, 86 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 3: ask them where I am and they bark on the phone. 87 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: He loves that, So it's good though. So it's a 88 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: week ago, Kate Caden drove off to college or you? Yeah, yeah, 89 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: and there you are? What are you gonna do for 90 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: yourself today. You need to do stuff for yourself. Well, 91 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: I promise I will. It's just, you know, it's a 92 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: it is an adjustment. I was telling you earlier. It's 93 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: the fact that he's energy, Like Kate had an energy 94 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: about him, and Daniel knows, Scotty knows, and you guys 95 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: all know you spend any time with him. He had 96 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: an energy about himself that he lit up a room, 97 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: and so our house just feels sometimes empty and different 98 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: because he's not there too. 99 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 2: He lit up a room because he walked into the 100 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 2: room and farted and went back to his bedroom. 101 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: I miss that. I miss his antics and his craziness. 102 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 3: I miss it, and I never thought I would miss 103 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 3: it as much as I do. But he really is 104 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 3: just such a good kid. We are so proud of him. 105 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 3: And I know a lot of parents are struggling as 106 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 3: they send their kids to college. And it didn't hit 107 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 3: me until right before he left. And then it is 108 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 3: getting better, and it comes in waves, and I have 109 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: times that I'm fine, and I have times that I 110 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 3: think is something that we did or we would be doing, 111 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: and that's when it kind of hits me. 112 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: I got Tracy Tracy, you're dropping your kid off at 113 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: college today. I am How are you doing, how are 114 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: you feeling? How are you hanging in there? 115 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: I'm so excited for him and the independence he's going 116 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 4: to gain there. But he he's my third kid to 117 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: move away from home, and I only have one left. 118 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 4: And I've cried off and on for twenty four hours 119 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 4: looking at his boxes. 120 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: How far is he going from home? 121 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 4: He's only going two hours. We are. We're in the 122 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 4: home of WU and he's transferring to a smaller private 123 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 4: college to play lacrosse, Bethany College. 124 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: Oh good, nice, And you must be very proud. So 125 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: you have one child left, Maybe it's time to have another. 126 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: It's time to have another child. 127 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,119 Speaker 4: I'm fifty five. We probably won't. 128 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, here's what I'm thinking being a non parent, all right. 129 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: It's not only about them moving away, finding their independence 130 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: and learning and meeting new people and learning everything that 131 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 2: goes along with that. What does this mean for you 132 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: and the rest of your life? Is the question? Like, 133 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 2: what does that mean? I mean, Daniel, used to you 134 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: still have a child at home? 135 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 136 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: Four more years with him, so that's good. 137 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: So it's like when they leave and they go do 138 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: their thing. You're going to see them. You know, they're 139 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: healthy and they're smart and whatever. But what about you? 140 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 2: You still have this much life left. 141 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what my mom says. My mom's like, you know, 142 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: you've got three phases of your life. I'm like, well, 143 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: what is it. Well, first, you know, you're in this 144 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: single phase and you're having a good time. Then you 145 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: get married, you have kids, and then that's your phase 146 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: of life. You have kids, you take care of them, 147 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: whatever she said. Then they leave and they go to 148 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: college and they get married, and then you're like, I'm traveling, 149 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm doing this. I don't have to answer to anybody. 150 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: She's like, you have to embrace that. I'm like, uh huh, 151 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: And she's like, and you have to, you know, just 152 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: be happy. 153 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: Then you go. She's right, Danielle. 154 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 4: The perk of them moving away is that'll give me 155 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 4: so many places to go see I. 156 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: Know, but you have to do it. 157 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's the same if if like my parents, 158 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: for instance, when they went into retirement, they didn't really 159 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 2: do a lot. And I'm like, well, you guys, you 160 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: finally got rid of all of us. You have you know, 161 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 2: you have money, you saved. Go do something you have 162 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: the rest of your life. And so I'm being very 163 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: very careful about how I'm planning my future. And but look, 164 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: you know, you have another kid.
