My baby is at camp this week...

Ok she's 11 and she is my oldest, but still I almost cried when I dropped her off!! She has gone to camp since she was 7 and this is the first time I felt so weepy. I think it was because she didnt want me to hug her ( I did anyway and prayed with her too). Anyway I know she is having a great time and it is the #1 rated church camp in the nation so I know she will also be fed the Word which is the most important thing. She went with 35 other kids and 10 adullts so she is far from alone. I guess I just dont want her to grow up!! Now what am I going to do when my 5 year old (my real baby) starts preschool in 20 days??!!??

Boy do I remember those days? Just wait till they are adults and you send them off to college, or dance with them at their weddings. That is what I have done in recent years. It is so hard letting them grow up. But, yet, so rewarding. Just tonight I was choosing the song my son and I will dance to at his wedding. What a thrill to choose the song. I chose "Beautiful Boy" sung by Celine Dion. The beauty part of having this surgery is that we are given the opportunity to be healthy and live a longer life, so we can enjoy our children, and our grandchildren. Hugs, Trish

Having just danced at my last son's wedding I can attest to the truth of what you just said. I loved that my son's had grown into Christian men, married Christian women, starting giving me (hopfully) Christian grandkids. I loved every wedding, but this last one - 110 lbs lighter - what an extra blessing for me. As Deborah Kerr once sang in The King and I - "I could of danced all night" Love, Sally
