That's what our about-to-go-to-college daughter said this morning. And she's right! After making her room at home a special place all her own, so much is gone - loaded in the van and, now, on the way to her new school.
September 6, 2006 - our 31st wedding anniversary. And the day the third of our four children left for college. My wife's driving her to school and I'm staying behind because of my work. It's an emotional day for me - I'm happy for our daughter's new beginnings, but I miss her already.
We still have wonderful family members here in town, two children and two grandchildren. But a new chapter in our family story began today, another chapter whose pages are blank - and fresh. Only the Lord knows what will be written in the days and years to come.
To our daughter I say: "Godspeed...and God bless you."
And to Pat, again I say "Happy Anniversary - you're such a blessing to me."
