Kenzie

This is a picture of my niece Mackenzie. She leaves for college tomorrow. What a day of mixed emotions for her parents. My sister in law Tammy adopted Mac eighteen years ago and it is absolutely killing her to let her go. It is easy to be an outsider and say "oh this is just a part of the growing up process" but I cannot even begin to imagine what it will be like to send my girls off to school. I think it will be different with the boys. Girls seem much more vulnerable, fragile. I have had the pleasure of knowing Mac for the last nine years. She is an amazing young lady who in my opinion puts way to much pressure on herself. She has done everything in her life with great passion and perfection. I have no doubt that she will be successful in whatever life path she chooses to pursue. Keep your head on straight and follow what is in your heart, and remember to take care of yourself first. I love you so much!!!!!! Know that our door is ALWAYS open no matter what hour it is. Be good and strong and I will keep your mother company.
