Well, last Thursday I dropped my daughter off at Pacific University in Forest Grove. I was there an hour before her and her mother, but that's another story.
It was harder than I thought it would be. I've said goodbye to Erin any number of times, often for long periods, but somehow this was different. We set her up in the dorm and I made sure she had some speniding money and bought her books.
I said goodbye to my little girl. From now on, she's a grown woman with her own life, goals and plan. She's chosen a path and is agressively following it. From now on, I'm a spectator in her life.
I'm feeling old and alone. But that's overcome by the pride I feel. There's an incredible young woman out there who carries my name.
