some of you will remember the discussion of my 15 year old daughter who was accepted to the Alabama School of Math and Science. Well, the big weekend has arrived and on Sunday we are taking my little girl to Mobile and leaving her. I probably shouldn't have started the Movies That Made You Cry thread today as my emotions are so close to the surface that every one that someone brings up tweaks a nerve.
We have been preparing all summer for this but yesterday when the wife pulled out the suitcase to pack the clothes she broke down and called me. Last night when I got home from work I hugged my child and didn't want to let her go. She asked what was wrong, that she would be coming back a lot. Told her that I knew that but she would never live with us full time again and it was sad for us. Then I told her she better not ever plan on living with us full time again anyway. I got a laugh and a smile and was able to break away to wipe my eyes.
That drive back from Mobile is going to take forever on Sunday night.
