As I write this blog I am sitting in my hotel bed in Kirksville Missouri. My daughter Hannah is still asleep (what's new!) and I am looking out the window and some surprisingly beautiful countryside. In a couple hours I will drop Hannah off at Truman State University where she will spend the next 3 weeks............without me, her Dad, her brother, or any family for that matter. Am I nervous? Definitley. Am I going to miss her? Without a doubt. Is Hannah nervous? Definitley. Is she going to miss me? Without a doubt. Will she miss her brother? Absolutley not!! How do I know this? Because she told me. I am so glad I decided to bring her instead of putting her on a plane in San Antonio. She is old enough (14 if you read the last post) to fly unaccompanied but the time we had together without the distractions of home allowed for some wonderful conversation. My daughter is growing into a sweet, wonderful, exceptionally brilliant dare I say woman. Sitting in an airport for hours waiting for lost luggage gaves us ample time to catch up. Hannah actually put the IPOD away several times to talk with me. My heart has been warmed! In a few hours I will be driving back to Kansas City sad and already missing my baby girl but also proud of her and looking forward to picking her up and talking about her experience.
Wish her luck my friends.
