Graduation Party for Amber

My youngest daughter decided NOT to go to college. "Mom," she says, "I have decided NOT to go to school around here. I want to get as far away from here as possible." "Daughter,"said I, "NO!" I didn't want her to leave all of us, her home, hometown, and all that was familiar to her.

"But Mom," said she..."I am an ADULT NOW. And I have DECIDED I am moving away and going to school and living on campus."

So, yes, Amber is leaving in August, to begin her journey in college and further into adulthood.

Congratulations, Amber! We will miss you but see you soon I'm sure. 

But, it just won't be the same as if you stayed here! Oh well, life must go on and children must grow up.
