Marshal ( whom for those who do not know, or remember, is my lover of 3 years ) had a strong mindset to attend the state college Austin Peay for his degree in Theater and Education ( If acting does not work out, then he can teach other aspiring thespians ).
Well, yesterday we had left early so we could spend time with him, ate breakfast and explored the campus and his dorm room and attended the 'parent/student' classes that informed both parties of what the student would come to expect at Austin Peay; throughout the day, I was on the verge of tears.
I was upset, but I was proud.
After dinner had been paid for, we drove the sleepy student back to his dorm room and said our goodbyes. He hugged his mama and his papa, first, and then it was my turn - It was then, I realized, this hug would be the last one for a long time as there was no promise in weekend visits.
So, I almost made it, but not quite. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" />
Question: Do you let your pride hold you back?
