Gotta Get This Out

Trying to hold it together. A wave of emotions just hit me and I am trying not to cry. Was going to write about it tomorrow but I need to write about it now. First off, it’s nothing bad. Smile

Sooo… My daughter is moving to another state tomorrow. This has been in the works for some time, and now that time is here. Gotta love on her all day. When I tell you my kids and I are so close! We have never been more than minutes away from each other unless we’re traveling.

Listen, my baby girl has been with me since conception. I almost got put out of the military because I refused to take orders to Turkey unless she could go with me. I was advised against it. Was advised to leave her with my mom, but I couldn’t. She was mine and my responsibility. She went with me and we made it! I am so happy I made that decision because she still remembers her experience. The only time I had to leave her was when I was activated (Air National Guard) after 9-11. But even then, I was only an hour and a half away from her. I could see her at any time. Y’all, she’s my heart.

I know it sounds like I do not want her to leave, but that’s quite the opposite. To me it’s long overdue, but timing is everything. I guess she gets her patience and instincts from me—watching and learning what and what not to do. Laughing. I am so happy for her! However, I am definitely going to miss her presence, her hugs, and our passionate debates about politics, religion and pretty much any topic under the sun. She’s my horoscope advisor. Always telling me where my moon is or what’s rising. Listen, I have absolutely no clue what any of it means, but I love hearing her talk about it. All I know is I am a Cancer—a true Cancer is what she calls me. Y’all, she’s my sounding board. She’s brutally honest and keeps me on my toes. And I love every minute of it!! Every time I see her I smile. God blessed me with her. Never in a million years could I have expected to love so deeply and be loved as she loves me—as both of my two do. I am actually a mother!! Can’t stress it enough. I am truly, truly blessed!

Anyhoo…

I am so happy for her. And soooo very proud of her. Now I have another place to visit. Smiling

God is good. Just had to get that out.
