“STBXH” stands for “Soon To Be Ex-husband” in internet acronym language.
I’m thinking of that as I drive to my 9th grader’s choir concert.
The van is packed with my daughter’s college stuff.
Soon To Be, Soon To Be, Soon To Be . . .
Bins and boxes and bags are stuffed in the van.
We leave tomorrow.
But she was just a baby last week, I think.
And I was just in college, wasn’t I?
I’m Soon To Be Missing Her. STBMH
It’s a four hour drive
I bet it will go too fast though.
I’m Soon To Be Driving Home Alone. STBDHA
I’m feeling pretty dramatic about this.
Obviously.
I lock the van
packed with my daughter’s college stuff
and walk into the high school
for my middle son’s first high school concert
He was just a baby yesterday, I think.
I’m Soon To Be Watching Him Graduate. STBWHG
My youngest is in 6th grade.
I think you know how this goes.
He was just a baby this morning, I think.
I’m Soon To Be Watching His Freshman Concert. STBWHFC
Well, actually he doesn’t love to sing – But maybe he’ll change his mind
He’s Soon To Be More Confident. STBMC
I sit alone.
The concert is beautiful.
What is it about many voices singing?
Now I am Soon To Be Waking Up To Drive My Baby To College.

This is a clever mix of internet shorthand and thoughts fitting nicely into a soon-to-be poem post. Great idea!
