This momentous day is here, the last baby bird flees the
nest next door…
As Madison
pulls out of the driveway, her life will pass before her mom's eyes. All those years,
the four little ones playing together, or fighting, time spent in the car or in
the kitchen or camping or watching television, the Christmas cookie baking, the empty peanut butter jars,
the braces, cross-country, cheerleading, piano lessons, soccer games, chorus,
the Halloween costumes, the laughs, the tears, sleepovers, birthday cakes, the
mean girls, the prom dresses, the
packing for college, the life…
All of that is in the past now, those old juvenile memories,
all PC (pre-college). On to make new memories, new friends. On to the next
step. BamaBound is not just a college destination, it is a
life-changing event! Go Crimson Tide! Hello Big AL! Roll Tide!
all my bags are packed I'm ready to go...
Just don't forget where you came from, your roots started in
Georgia coastal sand and are
now deeply embedded in Georgia
mountain red clay. A Georgia Peach, a Southern girl through and through. Know that we are all very proud of you and are looking forward to hearing all about college, so if you have any spare time maybe post something on social media occasionally for us folks who are waiting to hear. There are these new things out there like Facebook and Twitter that you might want to check out to connect and keep in touch :)
I tried to think of some advice but you already do and know everything just right, so just keep on... follow your arrow wherever it points :)
The family trailer is loaded, along with 2 cars full, move over traffic, this caravan is Bama Bound!

Sophie says RTR could be Roll Tide Roll but 'round here it is roll tears roll...
