Taking Daughter To College ~ by Kelli
We drove our daughter across the state to drop her (and my heart) to start University College. She attended Skagit Community College while finishing up her last two years in High School.
New chapters for her and my husband and I.
I'll be knitting easy projects for a while. I'm 80% done with this poncho. It's a perfect mindless knit while I get use to our empty-nest ness ~ sigh...change...it'll get better. Glad I have knitting!
One of the hardest things we've had to do -- see the kids leave home. As soon as the texts, facetimes, emails, and phone calls begin it gets better. Time helps, but boy it's a hard pill to swallow. Hang in there, your tender heart will heal. Thank goodness for knitting.

ReplyDeleteThanks Penny, really needed this.
Deletegood luck with your daughter away! It's an adjustment but doable. I had lots and lots of projects lined up while each one went away.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, I'm going to line up the projects too :)
