Melissa (Lissa) is going back to school on Sunday....

We've really enjoyed having Melissa home for the holidays, but now she has to go back to school. Seems like we haven't seen enough of her with everyone working. When I was off, she was at work and vice versa. I'm about to cry just typing this. The three vacation days I took, her boyfriend was down, which was nice. He's a very nice young man and it was good getting to see him and more importantly for my daughter, for them to get to see each other. I'm sure mothers have felt this way for thousands of years. No matter how much time we have with them, it's just not enough.

I know, she's a big girl and so am I, but it's just hard. She's our youngest. We're going to miss her so much......
