Today there is someone special missing from my heart and that’s good. Like a bird must allow their chick to leave the nest I must allow my daughter to go to college. There is a certain emptiness I fill in my heart that I hope to fill with the knowledge that she is truly happy and successful in her college pursuits but this will take plenty of time and effort. The effort will come from keeping my heart busy with other pursuits and letting a tear reach my eye every once in awhile. Yet unlike a chick no matter how far more daughter flies away she will always have a place to call home and I will always be there (as long as G-D allows me) to help her in that journey.
