It's just wonderful that your daughter is feeling like she can leave, off on her own life adventure-just rather tough on us left behind. I hope you'll be able to visit her to see where she is, etc. I think it helps!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-750433799993991153.post-61558177608102721732013-09-17T19:18:47.611-04:002013-09-17T19:18:47.611-04:00While your daughter leaving is a bittersweet momen...While your daughter leaving is a bittersweet moment, take some comfort that my first thought upon reading your list is that you had lived a full and wonderful life.
