Growing Up

The time has come that my little girl is leaving home. Later this morning we leave for Ft. Wayne, Indiana where my parents and sister live. We will spend the night there and tomorrow morning we will head to the Indiana/Michigan border to take Mary to her summer job training. She will stay there until Sunday and then head to southern Indiana where she will live and work for the summer.   I am excited to see her take this new step in her life but sad at the same time. The time has gone so fast.

Yesterday, she said to me, "Mom this will be the last day I live at this house. From now on, I will be a frequent visitor." I think the enormity of this day has also somewhat sunk into her. As I have said before, she has grown into a wonderful young lady and I look with anticipation with what she will do with her life. Yet, in the meantime, she will always be my little girl. Even good life transitions can be hard. Wish us all luck as we embark in this new phase in our lives.
