Saying Goodbye

I've titled this photo:

"Driving Away"

Just dropped Courtney off at the airport. She was home for such a long time this trip and didn't have homework or practicing or Grad School apps or anything else like she often does.

Just laughter and fun and helping and talking and listening and hanging out with Nick and Chris and Kershaw. And watching TV and building IKEA bookshelves and shopping and lunching and Indian food for dinner. And requests for Nielsens (which I don't think we ever did). And friends and plans and games and making treats. And Concept.

It's so fun to have her here and it's so sad to say goodbye. 

But having her here is worth the tears when she leaves. 

I'm so blessed to have such a sweet, fun, funny, caring, strong, smart, spiritual, thoughtful, beautiful, wonderful daughter.
