she's growing up

You never think you will ever get to the point in your life where you are dropping your child off at college. I can't believe are oldest children are 18, officially adults. It is so rewarding, but also so unreal. 

I am so proud of Emma. In Madison she has a wonderful life. She had great friends. Proud, supportive parents who would do anything for her, and a safe loving home. But yet, she can leave everything behind to pursue her goals and a new "life". Awesome! It takes confidence and guts!! 

As much as you don't want it...and as much as it hurts, you let her go. It is truly the best thing for her. She will blossom! Everyone I talk to say their relationship with their kids when they come home after the first year of college is better than before.

......you can cry over this sissy.....but know ....you are giving her the best gift you can give her! 

love, k :O

ps- I am back...sorry its been so long
