Alex is heading for college in about 4 weeks. The realization is starting to creep in for both of us. For me, it means an empty house -- not seeing her almost every day. For her, a major life transition. We shopped for shorts today and spent the whole day together. Happiness.
Shes' going to spend some time with her mother and grandmother tomorrow. It's a thoughtful time for me. Deep breath. Everything changes. We long to hold on, or at least we operate as if nothing will. I do know that she is entering an incredible time of her life. I am doing everything possible to support her today and always. But it's time for her to begin finding her own way, depending on herself, making important decisions.
She spent a year with her mother and then this last year with me. What can I say? Having this time with her, helping her get through the college selection process. I am blessed. No one can take this away from me. Well. I'm off to do something else for a while.
