and just like that~
my baby girl ~ years and years ago My little girl is going to college this year. I repeat, my tiny little sweet baby girl is going to COLLEGE this year?! The means that the past 18 years have passed by, and the child that once lived inside my belly is out in the world as an independent adult. First a little bit about how it feels to have my first leave the nest. Okay, I'm going to be honest (why change the tenor of my blog now?) Before a few months ago, I truly believed that I would NOT become one of those over-emotional parents who goes through the pains of ' empty nest syndrome '. I thought that since she was only moving across the river, well, I would be spared any kind of unnecessary drama . Nothing like a healthy dose of humbling. It feels as if a string of my DNA has been carefully pulled out of my wiring and I'm left a little empty. It's not disabling, but it's present. I notice I miss her often. I mean, somedays I'm busy enough...
