Alyasa Vincent
Only a couple days left my eldest son Vincent could stay here with us… On the coming 25th August he’ll fly to Jogjakarta to continue his study at ISI (Intitut Seni Indonesia) the university of fine Art, for about 4 and a half years…
Vincent in a painting contest held in my city Palembang, he's got the second champion ...read the story here!
I’m a little busy lately did prepare all what he needed to lived apart from his family… I’ve bought him about 2 dozen underwear, some shirts, jackets, pants…and anything else…but till today I always think there’re something sketchy…
With a help of my hubby’s business friend who lived at Jogjakarta , Alhamdulillah finally we’ve got a boarding place for my son... and also a former motorcycle which we bought through him to facilitate my son to easy transportation he needed…
Me, my hubby and Vincent, attending his high school graduation ceremony... read the story here!
Yeah… time goes by as the wind blown… my sweetie little boy who’ve been cared and raised with all my love.. now was ready to leave us…
It’s truly sad… but nevertheless I should be able to accept it ... Maybe this is what being a parent ... one day we gave birth to them, care for and raise, and then ultimately must be prepared to release them into their real life itself ..
Vincent with the school band, Global Band in a band festival.... read the story here!!
Maybe someday when we're old and they’ve been independent in all things ... good economy, education and other things ... we can only watch them from a distance, praying for their happiness ....they are … our children ...
Hopefully they could achieve what their expected and dream ... so by then perhaps I can smile happily and could live for the rest of my life peacefully ... Amen!

It is very hard to send your first born off to college. I remember when I sent my oldest, I cried the day before,of and after. Thoughts and prayers headed your way!
ReplyDeleteNensa, I know this is a time of mixed feelings for you. You are proud of your son and that he is going off to school, but you will miss him and worry about him when he is gone away so far from home. I hope all goes well for him and for you. Hugs from Daisy.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very creative son - you should be so very proud!
ReplyDeleteHaving them grow up and move off to college isn't easy. Good luck with it all :)
I remember when Tim left for College, Cindy cried for nearly two weeks, he was about seven hours away from home and was the last to leave the nest so to say, now as you know he is the father to Benjamin.
ReplyDeleteLife keeps moving and all we can do is raise our children to the best of our abilities, be proud of their accomplishments, and allow them to make their own way in this world while watching and being there when they need us.
From what I see you have done well, Vincent will do good because of the love and lessons you have given him, I can see why you are proud as he is a fine young man.
Hi Nensa! Semoga sehgalanya selamat ya. Good luck to your son. I am sure he'll succeed in his studies and made you a proud mother. He is not only talented in art but also in music it seems. You must be a proud mother.
ReplyDeleteSalam sayang dari Malaysia buat Nensa
Very sweet Mr Monkey
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful Nensa. Nice graduation photo! Your son is very talented. It is a good training for him to be independent. It is okay to be separated temporarily from home while he pursues his studies.
ReplyDeleteIt is a journey for us to let our babies go. I'm having a hard time letting my son go. I notice I don't eat well now.
ReplyDeleteYour son is very talented. He will make your proud.
Little by little we take the steps life presents for us.
@Mamma has spoken:
ReplyDeleteThat’s true my friend… thinking about my son’s departure was make my eyes watered… It’s really hard… but Im glad to hear your experience... make me not to feel alone...
thanks so muh for the compliment.
@Daisy:
This is the time when I feel proud and also sad for my son at the same time… but hope everything will fine..
Thanks so much, Daisy!
@Jemi Fraser:
Sure, Jemi… I always proud of my son and also of my other kids... thanks for wish me luck !! I much appreciate it.
@Jimmy:
Yes Jimmy… perhaps I’ll be the same as Cindy... especially this time is still fasting .... I kept thinking how my son will deal with fasting in there ... so many thoughts ... I finally just surrendered to Allah The Almighty ... and make more pray for him ...
You’re really blessed Jimmy to lived this age…. watching the birth of Benjamin…
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience and thoughts to me.
@TK:
Thanks TK… aku berharap semuanya berjalan lancar… Aku bahkan ingin waktu cepat berjalan sampai anakku selesai sekolah di sana…
Sending my love to you too… my dear friend!!

Thanks for your nice compliment!
@JamericanSpice:
I’m glad.. I’m not alone…there’re so many mom who have the same experience…I think I’m also beginning to not eat well this time… Thanks for sharing your delightful experience..
Oh very very very sweet Nensa .... You make me smile a big smile inside my heart .
ReplyDeleteThe process of a mother ... letting go .....
Isn't life wonderful WONDERFUL
Not only the process of the child but also so very much our own unique process. Making us who we are , who we were meant to be ? ( I hope )
Your sun is so lucky to have you as a mother and .... you are so lucky to have him as a son.
In the future we ( you and me ) will still be blogging about all the hapiness we are going te share with them ( our choldren ) and with eachother .... Thank you for that ... sweet sweet Nensa !
You have a handsome and talented son and I know you and your husband are very proud of him. But remember, he won't really be far away from you ... he will always be in your heart. I remember how choked I used to be when my son when into the army... even though he was grown up I still thought of him as a baby. That's what comes of being a mother, eh? Keep smiling, Nensa.
ReplyDelete@Francis:
ReplyDeleteHi Francis, Yeah.. this life was wonderful itself...Your words are definitely true, we all blessed and lucky to have each other as a mother and son...
I'm glad to have a such wonderful bloggies friends like you around me... so I hope we all can keep sharing all happiness in our life through blogging..
Thanks for your sweetie words...
@Valerie:
You got right, Val... even though my son will live far away from me... but he will always as closed to me in my heart...
Every mom in the world would treat their son as a baby or child even they've been grown up and was being adult... we always keep them like a baby in our heart.. don't you?!
Thanks for your precious words, Val!!
sending a big hugs to you!!
Wow,your son is very talented, very artistic! You've got to be very proud of him. The time has come that as a parent you now have to let him be on his own. It's difficult for mothers like us, but we must get used to not having them around us for their own sake.
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you both especially Vincent who'll be away from your family.
Ahhh it is always so hard to say goodbye..I will be doing the same soon with my daughter who is going to the UK to study.
ReplyDeleteYour son is so talented...that painting of his is amazing.
xoxoxo Hugs as you say goodbye to him.
A happy Goodbye Nensa, you know it's a good Goodbye.
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet week ahead. xxx
Hi Nensa,
ReplyDeleteYour son Vincent is very talented! You must be so proud of him:-). I can imagine how hard it will be to see him go...However, the bright side is, he's going away to college so that he can expand his horizons...My son is only 17 months old, so i have a long time before i have to worry about him leaving. xo
Wow, and artist AND a musician? And good artist too, from what I can tell! Awesome, and I bet he gets all this talent from his mom!
ReplyDeleteHe's a very talented guy. You must be very proud of him.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Boonie
Wow, that painting is amazing! He is very talented.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are really going to miss him. I cannot imagine my girls leaving for college, but I am sure it will be here in a blink of an eye!
Hi Nensa, Congrats to Vincent... He seems to be a very gifted musician and artist... I'm sure he will do GREAT in college... I know you are proud of him...
ReplyDeleteAnd YES---I remember those days when my sons left for college... It was HARD for me ---but it's just part of life. They all have done well and I'm proud of them. But--I don't see them nearly as much anymore as I'd like. We are all in different areas of the country.
Hang in there, Mama.... He will be fine --and so will you.
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh Nensa, it's normal - but also sad! But you're a loving family, and he won't really leave you, he'll always like to be in touch. Ah, some changes are not so easy - i send you my love!
ReplyDeleteHe is so talented!!! I could barely handle lmy son going to Kindergarten this year. I can't imagine letting him go to college.
ReplyDeleteDear Nensa,
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post! It is hard to watch our children leave home. It is sad to us, but at the same time wonderful because we want them to grow, and become all they can be. I wish the best to your son as he starts at the University. He is talented, and will do well. Praying for your son and family...bless you! :)
@Beng Gee:
ReplyDeleteYeah…Beng, I’m very proud of him but also truly sad at the same time…hehehe….
This is a path of being mother… you got right, of course we must get used to not having them around us for their own sake.
Thanks for your very kind words!

Thanks for your best wishes to us..
My hugs too to you!

aw... Nensa, how nice that he is heading to college, but also how sad to see him leaving. I know that feeling. One of my blog posts in July was about my son Ernie, and my experience when he left home for a while; now he is back. Good luck to Vincent. Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comment.
ReplyDeleteNensa, you are precious!
Doris
Hello Nensa, it's nice to meet you! Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving your sweet comment.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel seeing your son going away from home to college. Both my kids have been out of college for some time now, but I remember the feeling very well. It's an exciting time for them and a bit of a scary time for the parents.
Your son is very talented, the artwork is wonderful! I'm sure he has a bright future ahead of him. Try to relax and not worry too much although I know it is hard. Best wishes to Vincent and to you too!

Hi Nensa,
ReplyDeleteIt is very hard to let our children go out on their own. They do stay a baby in our *heart*! Prayers for you and your son as he journeys out into the world to become an independent adult. He is an amazing artist! I wish him much success in his future.
Blessings to you,
Gloria
