My oldest is heading to college next fall. Likely destination is Colorado State University in Ft. Collins. We visited together last Easter, touring the campus and talking to locals and having a nice time sightseeing and soaking up the local culture.
She fits there.
I watched her on that trip putting herself into the scenery, into the stories, onto the blankets in the oval shaped center of campus with a friend with a guitar and another with a golden retriever, the bikes laid down on their sides while the afternoon passed in the sun.
She’s leaving. It’s time.
It’s time.
This is so happysad.
