The Empty Nest
My daughter decided she wanted to move to Chicago and find her fame and fortune.
It's a good thing she told me on a Saturday that on the following Tuesday she would be flying to Chicago to live otherwise I'm sure I would have talked her out of it and so did she probably. She was leaving not to chase a man, but a dream. For that I was happy.
This is a big leap of faith for her. I'm so proud of her for following her ambitions. She said to me, "Mommie, I have to go or else I'll never know what may happen and will always wonder what if."
She has had this desire to go to Chicago since she was in the 10th grade. Now at 24 she's making her own life choices and following through on them.
You go Joi! Everything is gonna be alright. I'm praying for you as always.
Love you much,
Mommie

What a wonderful gift to give you gave your daughter by allowing her to test her wings without making her feel guilty for wanting to leave the nest. When I left home, my mother was so upset that she wouldn't even walk me outside to the car. And I don't mean upset as in sad. I mean upset as in angry. I felt terrible. But as always, my dad gave me a proper send off with a hug and his blessings.
Kudos for realizing that whether you gave your blessing or put up a fight, she was going to leave one day anyway. By letting her go peacefully, you blessed her and one day she will understand the importance of blessing her own child.
