Listening in: just the sound of the air purifier at work
View from the Window: the just before complete sunset color of night sky
Meal Plan: Feed Yo' Self
Beauty in the Common Things: fresh coffee and perfect sharpies
Y'all, the Drama Queen is soon to leave for college.
This is more than I can emotionally handle.
How do mommas do this?
She will be 955 miles from home and my heart just can not handle it.
Is she ready? Of Course she is.
Is she excited? More than words can express.
Am I dying inside? Every minute of the day.
What I am doing is trying to savor every day she has left at home.
I am replaying every bad decision I have ever made as a Mom.
I am afraid once she leaves...she will never come back.
I am Praying for her heart, her happiness, her future, and her dreams.
I guess second guessing everything is normal. I don't know. I am figuring this thing out as I go. I hope that we have given her all that she needs to fly and I know that I am supposed to let her go. I just haven't figured out how yet.
They say that you only have so many days, weeks, years and "they" are right. I wish that we had taken the time to do some of the things we put off. Gone some of the places. Experienced some of the things. Then I realize...we did and we have had some very, very fun adventures. The next adventure is going to be the best one yet. It is the one where my daughter gets to become my friend.
