Meg is Leaving

It's an empty feeling knowing your youngest, the one who has kept you busy 24/7 since birth is leaving.  Tomorrow that's just what's happening to us.  Meg is leaving for Baton Rouge.  Due to my school in-service, we can't be the ones to take her on LSU's big move in day.  Instead she will be going with Kyle, carrying an overnight bag with a few necessary items to survive in her dorm the first night.  She didn't want to wait and go with us.  Can't blame her, she might miss out on something!  We will be there Friday to bring all her stuff, which is a considerable amount,  help her unpack and then say our goodbyes.  I know she will be fine and it's my job to let her go with a smile on my face, but it hurts so much.  I just hope I can hold it together, at least until we're in the car and driving away....
