We headed home today. John and Dad left early, I followed a little bit later after helping Brenna finish up packing. She's going to stay one more day for some final time with her friends. It's very bittersweet today. I think she is very excited about what's ahead of her, but at the same time I know she's had a wonderful college experience and is sad to leave her friends, boyfriend and comfort zone. I give her a lot of credit! I'm sad for her, but trying to keep it to myself so I don't influence her with my feelings. I'm sure I'm projecting a lot of my repressed feelings from when I was her age. I'm sad to see her leave Radford, it's been so good for her!
This picture makes me very sad. It's so sweet! The drive home for me was very reminiscent of our first ride home after dropping her off freshman year! I tried not to think to much about it, but I cried a good part of the way home. I don't think it would be so hard if we were going to have a little more time with her, but she and John leave for Wisconsin on WEDNESDAY!! Just not going to think about it for now.
