We still don't have an answer from the university Gray applied to at the end of the spring semester about whether his transfer was accepted. We are trying not to harp on him and are only making an inquiry every now and then. But it is a little nerve wracking. Meanwhile, he isn't working any more hours than he normally did, is spending a lot of time sleeping in and on the computer and is still hanging out with his (ex?) girlfriend. I'm not prying and its super hard...but I do sit down in his room with him every couple of days to check on him and ask him how life is going and if he has anything he wants to share with me that is his chance. I barely ever see him, but he is here with us all the time. A paradox, for sure. It feels like the Summer of Waiting. Waiting for things to happen at work and at home. Waiting for a vacation, a day off, and some relief from boredom. Waiting for bad news or good. Waiting to see where Gray will be in August - studying and living. Waiting for answers to other things before we can move forward with plans at Highlands. Waiting on the inevitable empty nest and whatever it brings. Waiting to hear from the other three, good news or bad. Feeling unsure and trying not to worry. The waiting is definitely the hardest part.
