Levi Hank left for college: He is all grown up

I was in the car, weeping to an old mix I had made for him to fall asleep to as a baby. While I was excited about this new phase of his life, I could not believe he was all grown up now.
However, Sara hilariously shared how her son ruined his “dramatic goodbye”, saying:
He came up to us after we had moved him in and said he had forgotten a few things back at home. I assumed he would come collect them later, so I went to run a few errands. Surprisingly, he was home when I got back.
