FaceTime is awesome!!! My little one has been asking for days to FaceTime with his sissy. Unfortunately their schedules have not allowed the opportunity until TODAY! He has had a couple of weepy days and was "just needing to see her eyes!". As much as I enjoy the text messages throughout the day (contact and information), occasional phone calls (her voice), Face Time is the best of both plus we get to see her eyes and smile!! My little one was right, seeing her eyes is wonderful! After hanging up, there were a few more tears. My little one said, some were the missing sad tears and some where the happy kind of tears because he got to see her! (My tears were the contagious kind!)
Day two of her classes was good! Now she has been to all five classes. She attended what she knows will be her hardest class this afternoon, and of course it was the first and only class to already assign her some work, so now the reality of being a student is setting in!
Knowing how anxious and fearful she can get about school with her great desire to be successful, this was the verse I sent her this morning:
The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. Hebrews 13:6
It is hard to believe that we are only 10 days into this adventure of my first born NOT living with us. We haven't made a lot of progress, in fact I feel a little stuck in this strange space. A space where her room is empty, clean and quiet; a little bit of the chatter and joy is painfully missing; and we clearly have not discovered our new normal. Maybe it is a little bit of denial because I am not sure how comfortable I am with THIS SPACE, and am pretty sure it isn't normal!
