It's what we've worked for since he was a little boy, but man it's hard. Really gonna miss him. He's ready, and I'm proud and excited to see where the journey takes him. Go Frogs!

So. Not. Ready. Fortunately mine is a sophomore. Feel for ya.
Congrats on a big milestone. I'm really glad he's able to go considering so many schools are keeping kids at home. We dropped off our son last summer and man it was tough. He's our youngest so that made it even tougher... empty nester thrown in the mix. Lots of proud moments to come. One thing we did right was plan a lot of trips and front-loaded our trips to the baseball games which was a blessing considering the season was cut short.
Best of luck to baseballhsSon!! It's such a fun journey for them. @Smitty28 we will be with you next year this time since our son is the baby of three. We won't know what to do with ourselves. I have a feeling we will those random people who show up to high school basketball and baseball games even though we don't have a kid playing. LOL
I gotta tell you, we just dropped my sophomore (youngest) son off this week and I think it was harder than last year as a freshman. With he and his brother being home since March due to COVID, we really got some unexpected family time and got used to having them both around. As my older one said, "this is probably the last time the four of us will live together for this long ever..." My oldest is heading back today and my wife and I will be left in this empty/quiet house that we had finally gotten used to last year...and now will have to get used to again.
Congrats baseballhs! The fun is just beginning for you and the hard work for him! I remember dropping my oldest off at college in 2010 like it was yesterday and I remember picking up my youngest up after graduation in 2019. The best thing about dropping off each of my three sons freshman year was talking to them a week after being on campus. They were little chatterboxes about some of their new experiences and the people they met. Priceless. Enjoy those milestones and take lots of pictures.
Congrats, i recall the same situation back in 2015. The next phase begins and it will fly by too. Enjoy it, here's to continued success and health for your son. Post details along the way, us old guys with kids already gone love it.
Big milestone. All the best to your son and family.
I totally empathize baseballhs...Ive been happy and sad a lot lately...just miss having him around the house...miss going to watch football and baseball practices at the school..the saddest thing is watching his dog roam around the house looking for him...

LOL - been there done that. I went to all of my youngest son's HS team's home baseball and basketball games the first year after he left the nest, and even games of teams he didn't pay on. That helped. So did travel!
Best of luck to your son, baseballhs!
Congratualtions, It seems like just yesterday I dropped my son off at his college.
Get to every game you can and enjoy it. It ends to soon. I am now relegated to watching his mens league games over Game Changer.
Do nto sweat the small stuff. do not let anything remove the joy of watching play.
Thanks
