My beautiful spirited daughter left for the Army today and it is breaking my heart. All I've done is wander the house, lay in her bed and look at photos. I think I'm ok, then I'll see something that reminds me of her and a little part of me dies inside knowing that she won't be home tomorrow. She is my burning flame, not just a small light in this world but a bright and shining star.  She is amazing and I'm proud to call her my daughter.  I miss her already.
