Dreams. Things smashed.

I had to let her go the first time so she could seek her biggest dream, finish college. I did everything I could for her to get through all the steps. We went through crazy times getting her application essay written and submitting the application. Hard times through her stress and anxiety. Things smashed. Too much alcohol. But I was there by her side, I knew this was something she needed to do and I needed to support her 110%. We moved her up to Virginia on a cold winter weekend. We had our cries, said our loves and goodbyes. So hard to have her so far away. I still see her face as I left. Her lips showing love and happiness, her eyes showing her fears, her stance showing her sadness. She told me she would never have tried to finish without having had me in her life - someone to believe in her, even when she didn't. What more can you give someone than the ability to reach one of their life's goals? If there's more, I'll do it.
