LOVE Learns to Let Go

It’s been a monumental week over at our house.
Yours truly has passed the milemarkers of
 a few parenting rites of passage.

Our oldest daughter, Meghan, packed her bags,
jumped in our car and headed off to follow her dreams.
 College-bound since she cut her first tooth,
she has been waiting for this moment for a long, long time.
We underestimated how hard it would be on our little ones.
Thank you for the Rice Krispy treats Nana!

She’s been out on her own since last fall,
so I was surprised how emotionally taxing it was
on my mom- heart to take my child to college.
 Her brothers and sister took it pretty hard too.
There were lots of tears.
She seems to be doing much better now.


Amazing what a couple of days and a Skype account can do.
Her teddy bear peeking out through a cardboard box of her things.

We had her dorm room decorated and organized lickety-split!

Less than twenty four hours later, we were at our local DMV,
while our son David took and passed his driver’s test.

Introducing the State of California’s newest driver.

Another area of letting go for me.

This week, over at our house, LOVE is learning to let go.
