.....that is, time for my last baby to fly the coop.  In four days we take our dear daughter to the airport for her trip to Canada.  She is almost packed and tomorrow has been set aside to finish that task completely.  I have mixed emotions.

As any mother would, I have sad feelings about my daughter leaving home.

On the other hand, as so many friends keep encouraging me, this is what we raised her up to do.

I've cried a few tears......but don't tell anyone!  (Only my pillow knows about that.)

But I've also thought about a few things I just might look forward to......like taking over her little bathroom for myself!

I'm anxious for her.  I want her roommates to like her, I mean, REALLY like her!

And I'm excited for her to spread her wings and really FLY!

So, basically, I feel like a mess......a happy, weepy, proud, blithering idiot MOM!!!!
