Too Many Firsts For One Day...

[(((Thump))) *bounces*]

My daughter and I are sitting in her school's lunch room this morning, waiting for her to leave on her first camping trip for 3 days. The teacher's call for the students to go outside and start loading up their gear onto the buses and that's when my emotions start, lol. I'm going picture crazy at this point, taking as many as I possibly can. She was very annoyed by this, but for a 12 year old, what else can I expect, lol.

As she's sitting on the bus with all her friends, I keep going up to the window of where she's sitting, just trying to get as much attention from her as much as possible. And as the bus starts pulling away, that's when my mom gears kicked in and I'm trying to hide my tears so my daughter wouldn't get worried about me.

My daughter is my only child and so she is my whole life. This is the first time in her 12 years that we will be apart from each other and I'm just your typical mom and I miss her terribly already and she's only been gone for a couple of hours.

I'm not really sure exactly why I'm posting about this, but I just wanted to share I guess. ;D


Edit: The pics I tried posting were showing up on the preview, but not the actually post, so if anyone is interested:

I feel for you because it is very hard watching your child grow up and become somewhat independent but just remember that she will always be your child and she will always need you in some form or another.

It happens. I really wouldn't know because I'm only 15
