Well at the distance my daughter is going she won't even be able to dream about me driving back and forth! I couldn't even get her to look at a school in Iowa! We live just 20 blocks from the private college I got my 2 bachelor degrees from - I always said she could go there

She went to Harvard last summer to take a 4-credit class for a month - she loved it; I didn't get much accomplished that month
I am so sorry to hear that someone you loved & cared for so much would be with you for such a short time. Life is so hard to predict, that is why we have to lean on Him - God does have a plan for us. How fortunate for you that you found love.
