Saying Goodbye
... cross posted from our sister site, Deep South Moms Blog.
Tomorrow we drop Angel, our eight year old, off at the bus for her very first sleep-away camp experience. Of course I can't help but worry. I'm worried she'll leave her clothes all over camp like she does at our house. I'm worried she won't bathe for two weeks. I'm worried she'll be abducted by aliens. But mostly I'm worried she won't come home the same kid we dropped off.
So many of my major "firsts" happened while I was away at camp. The first time I shaved my legs. The first time I stood up to a bully. The first time I wore make-up on a regular basis. The first time I kissed a boy. I wonder what significant life events will happen to Angel while she's away.
