And to top it off, tomorrow is her birthday. The big #18. And I won't be there.
I am not all that thrilled to miss her birthday - the first one I'll miss. But it won't be the last. Because that's the point, right? This is what all those years of parenting and training and schooling were leading up to. This was the point, right? Well, one of them, at least.
But knowing this is a good and right step forward doesn't make the goodbye any easier.
Happy (early) birthday, Amy Girl! I love you so much!
How To Say Goodbye
Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith
Tell me when the time we had slipped away
Tomorrow turned to yesterday
And I don't know how
Tell me what can stop this river of tears
It's been building up for years
For this moment now
Here I stand
Arms open wide
I've held you close
Kept you safe
Till you could fly
Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
And how to harness up the wind
And how to say goodbye
Tell me why
Why does following your dreams
Take you far away from me
And I knew that it would
Tell me how to fill the space you left behind
And how to laugh instead of cry
And how to say goodbye
Here I stand
Arms open wide
I've held you close
Kept you safe
Till you could fly
Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
And how to harness up the wind
And how to say goodbye
