Yesterday a friend asked me how I was doing regarding my daughter going to college 3 months ago. I told her I was doing great, much better than I ever expected! I am continuing to be a busybee with many activities in my life. There have been a few moments I wished she was here, but it makes the phone conversations, emails, and visits (2 so far) more meaningful. Then I realized my friend was referring to seeing me the last Sunday at church before she left for college. THAT DAY I WAS A BASKET CASE! The tears flowed freely during the worship service as I listened to her sweet voice singing in the pew, between her brothers. I just had to ask God to forgive me for not focusing on Him that morning. All I could think of was that my life would never be the same again. My family would never be the same again. And like my good friend Gladys said to me, "No, it won't be the same again. But it will be okay." She's right.

Wow, that brings tears to my eyes for sure Robin! I can't believe I will be facing that in 8 years when Davis heads off to college. I understand it get's here before we know it.
Where is she attending school?
Thanks for sharing by the way.
Many Blessings,
