Friday was the Day

Sitting in Starbuck's thinking and watching the human zoo go by outside the window.

Well, Friday was the day. I helped Alex load up her little car with most of her worldly possessions. She left around 4, and headed toward grammy's house to spend her last weekend with her mom. Super dad was blubbering by then. Only 300 miles, I kept thinking. Hopefully, the relative calm and serenity that Alex has enjoyed in Pipe Creek willl give her a good foundation to get through the homesickness.

Saturday I was mostly just thoughtful. Realizing how profound and positive this transition is. I think Alex is numb. I can't imagine the level of emotions she must be feeling. On Monday, she heads up to Jack Camp, the freshman camp. Looks like a good ice breaker. Well, my sanity commands that I get out of this noisy place. More later...
