Baby Birds Leaving the Nest and All...

As some of you know, my oldest son Bradley is the biggest LSU fanatic of, possibly, all time. I know he makes you proud, Clyde. Anyway, he is about to realize his dream and be an actual student of LSU. Yes, Bradley will walk the hallowed halls. There will be no one happier to be there, I can assure you. No one.

Which brings me to a place in my life that I have been dreading. My boy is moving away from me. Out of my sight. My watchful gaze. I'm wiggin'. I knew it would happen, or maybe I secretly thought we could go on like this forever. And why not? I am trying to suppress the Louque thoughts- the paranoid freak thoughts that only a daughter of Vance III can think. I will not indulge. It's all too scary.

Anyway, pray for Bradley and for me. We will be going in July to Transfer Orientation. This is where Bradley will register for classes, be advised on his college path, and learn how to get student tickets. Geaux Bradley!!

  2. I hope it will comfort you a little to know he will be surrounded by family and friends. It will comfort me to now be able to say (on your behalf) "Bradley you have mawmaw this weekend".

  3. How serendipitous.

    Donna and I were talking on Saturday about the time you posted this and she asked me if Bradley was going to college this fall and where. I was surprised I didn't know.

    Carry the torch, Bradster!

    btw, I sat in the student section just below the band about 2 rows in front of the Golden Girls. This was only because I had a great view of the field from there.

    No seriously.

  4. I think you are overlooking the obvious. You clearly just need to move back to BR!
