Chatting to People, she said: "When [Drake] was Crew's age, people would look at me and say, 'Oh, you better hold on tight. It goes by fast. Now, being a mother of a four-year-old and an almost 18-year-old, it's a constant reminder to not take these moments for granted."

In an essay in Magnolia Journal, the quarterly lifestyle magazine she publishes with her husband, Joanna further reflected on Drake's then upcoming departure. "Soon, our oldest son, Drake, will be leaving home for college," she wrote.

 "In the grand scheme of heartbreaking things, this one comes with a lot of gratitude and excitement." "But still, my first child is moving away, and our family dynamic will change because of it, and that can feel like a loss of its own."
