Doretta –
Such an exciting time for Ellie!
It makes my momma heart happy to see her smiling and hear her laughing.
She’s three weeks in and loving everything about it. ❤️
Thanks for always supporting her!

Robyn – Even though it is exactly what we’re raising them to do…it is still bittersweet when the time is actually here.
Three weeks in and Ellie seems to be thriving in her new environment. That’s all a momma wants. ❤️

It’s just so bittersweet, Holly. ❤️
I have to say, though…we are three weeks in and the joy I hear in her voice is just what this momma’s heart needs.

I love reading your stories. You really know how to express what you’re feeling. It seems like yesterday when we took and dropped our girls off at college. Wow!!!!! That was so so hard. I remember my flood of tears that just didn’t seem to stop! But…..life changes and God has a way of helping us meet each and every new chapter. I’ll be keeping you and your family in my prayers! Congratulations to Ellie!!

I just read this. I am crying. Funny how we raise our children to be strong and confident. But when we take them and drop them off. The strong ones that we are – becomes a whole new ball game.
I appreciate your honesty and also knowing there is another mom just like me. Lia is 3 years out and my heart is starting to tug.
Robyn

Soooooo traumatic…for me, not her. She grew so much and I did too. Best experience for both. She came back when she could due to D1 basketball commitments, but I can see her becoming who she is. I still tear up when I have to leave her, but I told her that is my right. She leaves again next week and we won’t see her till Christmas and that will only be for 3 days. That’s okay because she is thriving and I have been thriving as well.
