Withdrawal

So my daughter, the author of this blog: Simple Things in a Complex World is currently in England on a trip from school. 

They are staying in a centuries old manor, have hiked in the Lakes, attended church and youth group, and are forming bonds with classmates that I hope will last a lifetime.

And I miss her.

I am very proud of her for going on this adventure, but it is so hard keeping up when technology fails (her skype isn't working).  I am loving hearing of the new wonders she has seen and I can't wait to hear more.

This is just practice for when she is regularly gone - next year in college.  Oh my, 18 years have gone by so fast.  Where's the pause button?
