She was excited and of course I'm also very excited for her, and so proud; and, at the same time I'm in a bit of shock for myself, even though I knew this was coming. I've been super clingy with her lately, trying to enjoy every moment, and probably spoiling many of them by trying too hard....
Right now I just feel sore in a weird way, like when you get hurt and you know you're hurt but you don't know where or how to explain it.
I'm kind of embarrassed by how I feel, and I certainly don't want to hold her back or make her feel bad in any way. I know that I'll figure it out with some time, so I'm going to give myself that time to just feel it, even though I can't put words to it very well.
You know how everyone says the years go by fast, they really do, but somehow it doesn't sink in until it's your turn.
This is a picture before she got on the train yesterday.
And this one is Aiyana at Trinity college, which we went to visit after dropping Sena off yesterday.
And this is my little corner where I read and write and find peace
Sena sent this picture. She can see the Lincoln memorial from her room!
