When the girl heads back to Waco, it feel like the official end to summer. That always makes me feel down in the dumps, even though there's a lot to look forward to in the fall. Time to get this room packed up and back to being a sewing room. I will miss knowing she will be at home every night, even if it was pretty late when she got in.
I feel like I barely saw her - she would come home briefly to plop down on the air mattress for a snooze before showering and heading off to another shift. We only saw her for a couple of meals here and there. (tho occasionally she took her brothers out to eat lunch and get a slushie at 7-Eleven) I so hope she can drastically scale back her work hours and enjoy her last year at Baylor. I'm not promising I won't stand here in the doorway of the empty room and shed a tear next week...
Do you follow Lauren at http://simplylkj.blogspot.com/ ? Her daughter attends Baylor too. My daughter is a senior and I know the day she leaves I'll be shedding many tears too.
