It's not usually a momentous event; some months (like a birthday month) it is exciting to turn the page, but this time it was an event to stop and take notice of.
When I turned the page to June, a date three weeks from now is able to be seen, and on that day I will drive my daughter to the airport, see her off on a plane to France and not see her again until the end of summer. It's a day I have known about and been planning towards for months, but it is now on the page of the current month.
It's shocking! And exciting and a once in a life time opportunity and an adventure she will never forget.
Besides spending the next few weeks getting everything ready for travel, I'm going to spend some time getting fun in! I'm going to miss her like crazy all summer long.
How exciting for her!
ReplyDeleteIt is! The closer it gets, the more excited we get. The most important decision has been decided, though, and that is what outfit to wear for travel! Whew!
DeleteWow, now that is an adventure. Hope you've stocked up on tissues!!
ReplyDeleteI might have a few boxes from the local warehouse store!
DeleteI can empathize. My daughter is going to China for a month in July to teach biology. Our girls will be so far away! We plan to skype or facetime, and I'm sure you are too. What a learning opportunity for them though - it will be worth it. We'll be praying, though, won't we?!
ReplyDeleteIt will be worth it! I feel like I will be a great example of praying without ceasing!!
