"okay mom it's time to go now"
"no one more hug"
"mom i've hugged you 5 times"
"well hug me a 6th time"
"dad can you get her off of me please"
"come on babe let go"
"i'll never let go jack"
"did you just make a titanic quote"
"yes now leave"
"mom seriously i'm going to see you again"
"fine" i let go and jack grabs my hand, taking me to the dorm door
we just finished moving Hayden into college and it's now time to leave
clearly i don't want to go just yet
i'm going to miss him so much
plus the twins are seniors so they'll be leaving next year and lily's in 1st grade so she'll be leaving before i know it
i just want my babies to be babies forever
"bye guys!" he waves
"bye Hayden" jack responds
"b-b"
"do you want one more hug mom?" i nod and he hugs me
"i love you hayden if you need anything at all call me and i'll be here in the next few hours. don't be scared to come back and visit every few weeks and please text me everyday"
"okay now you have to go"
"fine" i kiss his cheek and hug him one very last time
jack takes my hand and we leave the college
we walk into the car and as soon as i sit down and buckle my seat belt i start to cry
"don't cry babe he'll be back home soon" jack tells me putting his hand on my leg and driving away
"i-i'm going to miss him"
"i know that babe but-"
"just let me be sad"
"okay then."
we drive in silence for a little bit and i finally stop crying
i grab jack's hand and hold it
"i love you jack, and you're never leaving me right"
"never baby. here's the thing children will come and leave the house all the time but we're married and we have them so we're together forever. we have a great marriage and i would never want to get out of it"
"thank you for being such a good husband to me. i know i'm a mess but you somehow don't care"
"well baby you're my mess" he says and i laugh
"you're my mess too"
