So for 4 days we commuted ... then I had to go back to school and she and I had to come to grips with that!

A week later she was fully immersed in college life and I was home alone (but had school to go to daily, so that filled the day) ....

A year later Bill and I decided to get married (he moved here from CA) and G-d kept him with me until a few weeks after her graduation day 3 years later ... ***sigh*** ...

He was operated on the day she graduated, and passed away 16 days later ...
was he really sent to keep me company while she was in college?
Who knows? G-d really does work in mysterious ways.


Monday came into my life 6 months later!
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.
