Off To Camp

You know I Love church camp.   It will forevermore be one of my favorite places on earth.   I loved it as a camper.   I loved it as a staffer.   And I love it as an adult.   I do not, however, love that my baby girl has gone to a church camp for the first time.   I am missing her like crazy - and she has just been gone since yesterday at noon.   And she'll be back tomorrow in the early afternoon.   I know that my whining is crazy.   She is fine.   She apparently is having fun because I have not gotten a call that says, "Come and get me, NOW!"   But I am not ready for my baby to be okay with leaving me.   I knew it would come - but when she is 8?   Alas, we are surviving.   But that does not mean I have to like it.   Accept it, yes.   Like it, I don't think so.
