Well, here goes.... There is a new chapter starting in my life so I thought that I would give "Blogging" a try. Therapy? Reaching out? Perhaps a little of both. My husband and I cried our way home from Orange County last week as we dropped our oh-so-little girl off for College. Nothing new for some of you. "At least she's not moving out of state", you say. "It's not that far away", we justify. But it might as well be. "She's doing what she is supposed to do", "You did your job", SO WHAT...... She's not in here bed down the hall, she's not laughing in just the other room, she's not arguing with her dad about the latest Red Sox game or drooling over Matt Leinhart or "Dr. Dreamy" in the Living Room. She's just not here..... Will the same "flash" of time go by with the three boys remaining at home? I'm afraid so.... So back to reality and the new adventure. Yes, she did just go away to college, yes, it's not that far. True she'll be home on weekends.... Just not the same..... Amanda

Don't mind a bit...write away my friend and I will check in you! It just helps to say it and sometimes there aren't enough ears to handle as many times as we need to say it! No it's not fair...There was a moment when I thought cloning wasn't such a bad idea...they get to go off, and we get to have them again!
Hi friend! Welcome to blogging therapy.
I can't even imagine how you all feel right now. The thought of it scares me to death. I pop in on myspace every couple of days to check in with your girl!
I am so glad you are pouring your thoughts out. It does help. I wish I could help you feel better. I've said it many times but, you have done a great job with her.
I can only hope that my girls are just as driven as she is. It was really neat for the girls and I to see her new home over there. Our mourning over her leaving is obviously on a smaller scale than you but it did help to see her over there. I love you!
