A Bittersweet Celebration: Our Son Heads to Top Business School

Finding Love Podcast w/ Jenni & Stephen

Welcome back to another episode of Finding Love w/ Jenni & Stephen, where we embrace the bittersweet moments of life's transitions. In this episode, we explore the emotional rollercoaster of our son's senior year—a pivotal chapter filled with milestones and memories. Join us as we dive into the preparations for senior pictures, an 18th birthday celebration, a graduation party, prom, and the monumental move-out and move-in days.
As parents, we face the reality of one of our birds leaving the nest. We share our personal experiences and the mix of nostalgia and excitement that comes with watching our son choose his path and prepare for his future at the University of Michigan. We also reflect on the joy and challenges of this transition, from choosing the right Michigan gear to reminiscing about our own college days and the impact of these experiences on our lives.
This episode is not just a recount of events but a heartfelt dialogue on the changes affecting our family dynamics. It’s about understanding and adapting to our son’s growth into independence, the shift in our parenting roles, and preparing ourselves for the next stage of life. Tune in as we share insights, laughter, and maybe a few tears, offering a raw look into the journey of letting go and the pride in seeing our child step confidently into his future.
