"You are always in my thoughts. When you were little, I knew your whereabouts at any given moment. Now that you are...off on your own, I still always know where you are, because I keep you in my heart." — Elizabeth Berg

Molly left for her Snowball retreat Thursday after school and is due back this afternoon (Sat.). Of course she's been gone this long before, but we always have been able to either talk or text her. This time she had to leave her phone at home! It's such a weird feeling to be cut off from her like this. I know she's having a great time and all and really enjoying herself (at least I hope she is) but I am excited to have her home again and be able to know I am able to talk to her when I want to. Even though Snowball is kind of a rite of passage in high school, this is somewhat of a rite of passage for me as well. It's giving me a taste of another side of her growing up. I don't know if I like this...like I even have a choice. It's hard to let your child " go" even if it is only for 3 days. I miss her!
