“But love doesn’t disappear when the journeys become separate; it simply changes form … Sometimes it is enough to know that the people we love are safely on their way. And to trust that wherever the tracks lead, our love goes with them.”

In a few hours, I will be watching my daughter accept her Associates Degree in Biology transfer degree, and in a couple of months, she will be moving all the way across the country to the East Coast where she will finish her Bachelor's Degree in genetics and genomics. She is hoping to go into medical research, and I couldn't be more proud, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit worried about having her so far from home. I take comfort in this article from Rachel, as I send my baby girl on her way with all the love my Mama heart can muster.
