On our way

[make_your_move]

We are on the road now. Travelling down 95 at what seems like light speed. I know Widgeon is anxious to get there & start fresh. But I know she paused a couple of times this morning to collect herself.
I paused this morning too. Paused at the door of her room & looked at my sleeping girl for just a moment. I tousled her hair and whispered "wake up pretty girl..." like I've done so many times before. We shared tea one more time amidst all the bustle of packing this morning. Q and I have looked at each other a few times and not said anything....there's no need, we know what the other is thinking and feeling.

I know she going to do great. But oh... We are going to miss her so very much.

You guys are in my thoughts! Be gentle with yourselves while you all adapt to this change.

Oh, Lord.

I cried when I left Theresa, circled the block and drove past her walking with a grouop of other freshmen and headed off.

It's a huge day for everyone.

But I will tell you this, your daughter -- as were mine -- is capable, competent and smart. She has her eyes open, and she will do great. She's driving the clue bus.

I've never even met your girl, and yet I can see this so clearly.

My heart goes out to you - both for the sucess and the loss.

She will be brilliant and amazing. Many hugs to you & Q - this is a big, wonderful but also wistful and hard change.
