Hannah left for college yesterday. Jesse flew in a few days ago to drive back with her. As they pulled out of the driveway, I had a flash of panic, not for her, but for us, for me and Isaac. In that brief moment, my life flashed before my eyes, my life with Hannah, my precious, only daughter. I saw how much I have really depended on her, how much both of us (Isaac and I) really need her, how important she is to us, how wonderful she is. I wanted to re-live our time together, it went by so fast, and relish each moment we spent together, talking, laughing, crying, sharing.
I said to Isaac, “How will we manage without her?” He said, “I think we should persuade Eli, Kira, and Avey to move in with us.”
After church I asked, “What shall we do this evening?” He answered with a sober, “Get Hannah back.”
He’s looking into the possibility of graduating a year early…
