Aw Hell.
On one hand i'm joyous and grateful that she is getting this unique and incredible opportunity. They awarded her a scholarship grant which practically pays for everything. Same as they did for me when I attended high school there years ago.
On the other hand, i'm simply lost. It will be strange not having her here with me.
There'll be much ado about getting her ready to go in the next few weeks, and then, on the third of September, she'll fly off.
Her dad is going to take her there, get her settled in, see the place for himself. I totally understand that he needs to see where she is going to be.
I also know he will be well pleased, it's a fine, positive place.
I hope it's the right thing. It feels like it. Despite my already loneliness.
Despite these powerful urges I keep getting to hang onto her tight, not let her go......(aw crap, and then the eyes start "brimming" or some dam thing like that.....)
It's, you know, like, the best of times and the worst of times.....
Gulp.
