Her flight out Tuesday was cancelled, and she rebooked for today. Her flight leaves at 7 - we left the house at 4:30 am today. Argh! Classes start today, so she's only going to miss today's classes. Fortunately, the school knows how tough it's been - especially since I-81 was closed from Syracuse to the Canadian border through 2 pm yesterday. That's the only route she could have taken to get back anyway. I'm glad she was "stranded" at home rather than the Syracuse airport!
So I got 2 extra days at home with her, which was nice. Her bestie came over last night to say goodbye. It was nice to have them both around for a few hours. I would love to have them around again on a frequent basis, so if that spurs you to accept a house full of 21 year olds... But then again, I probably feel this way because it doesn't happen often!
And Kat, letting go is definitely a tough thing to do. However, on my ride from the airport to work after dropping her off, I used the time to reflect on things. I year ago, I would have cried. Today I didn't. For some reason, I guess I just know that May 1 will be here quickly? She's going to England with my parents for spring break, and that will be here even sooner. I dunno. Maybe I'm growing up too!
Now I can focus on D16 again. She turns 17 in early March, and when that date hits, I'm going to be moving full steam ahead with the guardianship process. That will be emotional and involved, and I don't look forward to it. But it's got to be done, so...
Hope all is well with you! We have to catch up again soon.
