My DD (darling daughter) leaves for college this Friday.  I will not be taking her there; she has chosen her stepmother, stepaunt, and a female family friend to bring her and her stuff to school.

As busy and happy as I am here -adjusting to new life/new town/New Job/cohabitating with Manfriend and his teenson, where I want to be is with her.

There are no do-overs.  There is no going back to get it right.  I want to be there but she has closed that option.

So, I will keep a weather-eye north and send her good, Loving thoughts for a smooth transition into college.

*great big heavy sigh*

This $h!t is hard, sometimes.
