Today is the day Lolly leaves to go to Washington DC. We had to awaken at 4:00am in order to be at the airport by 5:00am. Her flight left at 6:30.
She was pretty nervous. I was cool as a cucumber (on the outside). Inside I was dying!! Our daughter going across the country!! ALONE!!
Well, she was ready. We checked in with no problem. We went through security without a hitch. Then we were at the gate. We visited for about 20 minutes and then they called her name to board very first. At this point I decided to say goodbye so we wouldn't be rushed. I leaned down and told her all the right mom things. Then her eyes filled with tears. I still kept a stiff upper lip and told her to take a deep breath and enjoy her week. They FA came over and took her down the ramp and I was just getting ready to take a picture of her walking away from me (sniff) and then she turned around.
This is going to be an awesome week. I'm so excited for her.
