This weekend I took my baby Mika to her mother in Atlanta. It did my heart good to see my daughter living well, and near her new job. I know this is what mothers were made for, but I am now in an empty nest, and my Mika is gone. Amber says she is adjusting well. It's a town house set up with no back yard, but there is a dog park for the entire community.

I had to get rid of Mika's bed this morning, I can't stand to look at it without her rolling over for her belly rub. SHe's not running up to greet me or tossing her favorite toy around. I don't even want to go home this evening
