My 18 year old daughter is leaving home on wednesday. She's going to college in January and wanted to get settled and work full time before she starts. Friday she and I drove 3 hours to find and apartment and a job. We did well and she signed a 12 month lease in some student housing.
Gosh I'm filled with so many emotions. I am so happy and proud of her, but darn it if I won't miss her. Yeah, yeah I know..."she drove you crazy" you're going to say...and yes she did...my god did she ever. But as I said to her moments ago..."why is it when your kid finally becomes someone you like to be with and can actually talk to...they decide it's time to move out!" She laughed and knew what I meant. I cried and hugged her tightly.
She's grown into a lovely young lady and I know she will be successful..I just don't know where the time has gone ~sigh~

Oh Leelee, I know just how you feel. My youngest went off to school two years ago. Just give yourself time and do lots of lovely things with your husband. Oh, and talk on the phone at least once a week. She'll be fine and so will you.
PJ, thanks for your support...I know we'll all be fine, it'll just be a bit of an adjustment.
The pictures were cute. Her expression in the last one made me laugh. Hang in there. She's not gone, just away temporarily!
I know...it's all good...but still.....................~sniff~
