Who would have thought that I would leave the grocery store in near tears (held them until I got in the car, thank goodness!). EVEN GROCERY SHOPPING IS DIFFERENT!!!! All of the things I buy with her in mind, her favorites, I kept having to pass up. Each time it happened made me more and more sad. It is just strange that everything is so different, and I wonder when I will get use to this new normal- will I ever??
The blessing is getting to chat via text in the morning (she is even sending pics so I can see her all decked out in her recruitment attire) and then to actually have a phone conversation to hear all the details about her day in the evening. She is having so much fun making new friends and meeting so many people. Her feet hurt, she is exhausted, seems a little overwhelmed, but she still sounds happy so I am relieved.
Tomorrow, the first time I see her will be inside my sorority house, with great hope it will become hers! I cannot wait!!!
Today's scripture:
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8
