I Miss Her
6.365
My daughter Allyson came home for a visit from college this weekend. I love having her home...listening to her joke around with her brothers... hearing her play the piano... hanging out putting together puzzles or playing cards... baking cookies together... going out for lunch or coffee to catch up on how things are going for her...talking about God, politics and gas prices.
But at some point after she leaves again, the let down always comes. Today is one of those days. This morning I went into her room to straighten it up and strip her sheets for laundering. I didn't get that far. Instead I ended up grabbing her pillow and holding it tightly, breathing in her scent that still faintly lingered there.
You would think after two years of her being "on her own" I would deal with her going back to school a bit better, but I just can't help it, dang it! I miss her like crazy when she's gone.
