It's been a long and twisting road. It's had good turns and some bad detours but we've made it to the starting gate. Thursday morning we move Massey into her dorm room. It just seems funny using Massey and dorm room in the same sentence.
She was a happy little girl and hate to lose my daily bestie but know it's time. I'm over the sad part and beginning to feel her excitement, it's contagious.
Yes I've spoiled her but at least she's not rotten. She's a driven young woman who knows what she wants and chomping at the bit to get started. How can I be sad about that?
I'm ready now. I'm ready to take her up there, settle her in and come back home to wait and see what all she can accomplish on her own.
I wish I had been half the kid she is at the age of eighteen.Waking up tomorrow and taking her to college. Coming home without her.
Leaving her in good hands, a great room mate and a great university. I'm over the anxiety and simply excited to see how far she can go.
You got this girl, I know you do!
Eighteen years ago you were a tiny four pound baby who was lucky to survive.
Today you are a young woman who not only beat the odds but is destined for success.
Go gettum girl. Show the world what a Leach/Cotton can do!
You are a beautiful young woman, inside and out. I know you will make me proud, you already have!
Til next time...COTTON
