Come Home Now, Georgia Cloud!

It had to happen sooner or later... My fourteen year old baby is becoming an independent young lady. She has been in New Orleans with my brother and niece since Tuesday. She's coming home today.
That's four nights and five days-the longest she has ever been away from home without me. And, to my dismay, she has had the best time..without me! Is it wrong of me to say that causes my heart to hurt a little? I know, I know...roots & wings. But darn. I'm just going to say I hope to see a little relief on her face when she walks through the door and sees me. I want to hear a proclamation of how much she's missed me and she's never leaving home again. Okay. Not really. Well, maybe a little. Don't judge me. My baby will be grown before I know it and I am not ready. ~Sigh~


                 I think she looks very sad in this picture, don't you?
