Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Dad is flying with her to Kansas.

Please pray for an event-less trip.

I'm not ready.

Praying so hard that their trip is pleasant, your dd is filled with courage and joy, and that your heart is comforted, Laura. I can only imagine - my heart is breaking just thinking about it!

Praying for you and for safe travels for your family.

I know how hard this is, my heart feels your saddness.

God bless,

Laura--Praying for her and you...throw yourself wholeheartedly into tomorrow's emotions...find time to have a big sob-fest...it's long overdue given your summer and it will be cathartic .

Just saw this, Laura.    and many prayers. Aisa was chatting with her a few days ago, and she seemed to be in good spirits. But I know the separation is hard for all of you.

Thanks, Vanna, for such a sweet offer!
My first-born is heading off to her college move in, 1300 miles from home. Mommy is having a hard time dealing.

praying...

I cried and cried when my "little" sister left last year for her freshman year and I'm sure I'll be that way again in less than 2 weeks   
I can't imagine my own children...

Anyway, I'm praying for you!

God bless,
Christine

Hugs and Prayers. I can't imagine sending my dd off to college. It brings tears my eyes.

I grew up in KS. I hope she likes it there. I miss it.

Laura,How are this this morning?

Day 1 done

Personally DD#2 left on Thursday and it is only 35 minutes away, not your DD's plane ride or my DD#1's 4:15 car ride (which as a senior she will do on her own this year).
I had a good wallow with sniffles on Thursday night.
On Friday I scrubbed my bathroom, including the drawers,created DD#3's homeschool planner templets washed down and reorganized the pantry planned, on paper a schedule even June Cleaver couldn't keep up with and made a new recipe for dinner.
(Not sure what today will hold but probably less solitary activities. I like to wallow in spurts.)

Don't worry,in your own way you will make it through , especially when she gives you that all too brief phone call to update you on her new experiences.

Of course it is then that I am filled with the bittersweet realization that I am an observer/sharer of these new experiences not a participant, and yet that is what I have been preparing her for all these years.
