<center>Why does being a parent have to be so hard?  I mean, don't get me wrong, it is a blessing and the best thing in the world to be a parent, but also so hard especially when it's time to let go of them and see them move out.

<center>This is what we are going through right now and I don't know if I am ready for it or my son is ready for it.  But I bet that is what all parents think like and I don't think any parent is really ready for it.
Not a very happy day for our family today but exciting at the same time and scary at the same time.

<center>I felt lost all day today, but thank God, my day was super busy which was not expected at all, but it did help a little since the morning after my son (19 years old) left to move back to Canada to keep on following his dream in music industry, I was a mess but getting out of the house and doing a lot of running around for almost all day, kept my mind of it.

<center>Once I got back home, it kept on bringing tears, since I already miss his smiley face, and his laugh and listening to him play guitar every day.
I miss our chats and movie nights.

<center>The nice thing and the good thing is that he is going back with family where he will stay with for a while until he gets settled with work and of course his music, which he already has a band wanting him to try out for their band in Vancouver (where my son is moving).
<B>
<B>
<center>I am excited for him, but it does scare me a bit and even though I know this is part of life and I know that my babies have to move out and live their lives, it still hurts and makes me really sad.
<B>
<B>
<center>We were hoping that he would like to stay in El Salvador and pursue his dream here, but he really wanted to go back to Canada and we have to respect that and I know that he will make us proud and we just have to keep in very close contact through the internet which makes this so much whole situation so much easier, because I still will get to talk to him and see his smiley face a lot.

<center>But I better stop talking about it, since it brings more tears in my eyes.  I better keep myself very busy for the next few days/weeks, so that it will keep my mind of it, if that is possible.

<center>My baby is all grown up, but it feels like, just yesterday he was born.  Where does the time fly.  
Anyways,  this is what is going on in our lives right now and it sucks, but at the same time I am so proud of my son and so excited for his new journey of life.
