I was in the upstairs area of the Chapel during the welcoming remarks of Honors Weekend and caught a couple of Moms with what I call "the look".
"The look" is that far-away-look-in-their-eyes when Moms realize their sons are about to make a giant change in their lives. Up until this point their sons have made campus visits, filled out apps, talked to counselors, etc. But Honors is the time, when everyone is on campus for the first time and it feels like orientation day, that they realize the time when he will leave the nest is real close. That’s why a quiet reflection time results in "the look".
It’s tough on Moms…they love those sons…but that’s the way life is.
