Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.
Mother Teresa

How did it get so late so soon?

How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?
~Dr. Seuss

Tomorrow...we will load up "the combie" with a few treasures of boyhood, and a whole lot of anticipation, fresh new books and linens, and "stuff"...

and take our Landry to begin college life at the University of Tulsa.

We've done it before..in fact three times, but that doesn't mean it gets any easier.

Or keep this mom from fluttering around his dorm room, making the x-long hard slab mattress his most comfortable bed possible with down and new pillows and her "touch".

As if,... you can pour and store love into a dorm room makeover...

He'll know. We'll know. Its so right. But it still is hard. And I will hold back tears and snap pictures till our smiles hurt.

Thankful that he is only two hours away, and that there's a mighty lot of love 'tween us and we'll be there and he'll be back often...

and we will all get to share in his new experiences and friendships, and blessings.

And...while all of this is happnin', our Amy will be unloading her belongings into her novel, fun new little home in Louisville.

Our girl, with the most engaging smile ever, will find her fresh treasures too, with her masters degree underway, blossoming friendships, and the binding unity she will find with the new class of 300 also beginning their quest.

Life sure moves fast...enjoy the moment!!
