It is a sad time of year for me. I am feverishly filling out tax returns and yes, FAFSA's for my college age children. The thought of Lindsey going to college makes me proud of her, yes, but very sad. It is a threshold that I don't want her to go through. I selfishly want to keep her here, with me. She is my 3 daughter to leave my side. She is someone that has been sensitive to little ones feelings and eased my pains as well. I want to go to college with her, but I guess that wouldn't work either. I am needed here at home so that the others will be ready........to leave one day. This parenting thing doesn't seem fair. When you really start enjoying their company, someone else gets to enjoy the fruit of you labor of love. I love you Lindsey. My Lindsey.

Ok . . . as for the "leaving" part, well I went through too, but it was better for "them" and too, "they" will come back to you with seven times more love, so it all evens out.
The college thing will be best and "if" they do not want to do it, then let the noose lose.
Time comes when "they" have to escape . . . and college is the place to do so.
Please keep up the good work that you have been doing, all will come to surface . . . and in YOUR favor too.
