Heather was accepted to the York Bible College yesterday.
My heart's desire is to watch her get on that plane, and stand there cheering her as she goes.
It will be the hardest thing I've had to do in my life.
I don't want to see my dear friend go so far away - I will miss our late night chats.
I will miss her insights on people, and how they think.
I will miss watching a movie with her: cuddled on the couch, under a million blankets in her sweats.
I will miss her sudden trips to Starbucks, and the way she always remembers to bring me something, totally unasked for.
I will miss hearing "love you" every time she checks in on her cell phone.
I am rejoicing for her. I am rejoicing for me.
We get to travel a new road together.
and, she invites me to come along - how many young adults fly away, and leave their parents behind never to look back?
I am rejoicing.
