Right now, and on her graduation day. I can feel the excitement coarsing through her. I can picture it so vividly.

I sent my 19 year old daughter off to college in Chicago 2 years ago. I was so excited for her to experience living in an apartment in a big city. She has adjusted wonderfully and is thriving at fashion design school! It is so rewarding to watch them mature.

It feels as if that happened just last year, but it was 2003. We are just now 3 years past college graduation, how is it possible? You will get through it and if you are lucky, as I am, your daughter will grow into not only your child, but also your friend. I have a feeling it will work that way for you:)<br /><br />Oh, and the day you drop them off at college...that is the hard day, take lots of chocolate and plan to spend at least 2 days in bed!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-71271425953974615652010-05-11T15:22:32.408-05:002010-05-11T15:22:32.408-05:00It's the writer in you
