None of the moms who I am scheduled to attend bid day with have received a phone call from a tearful daughter, so we are guessing that we are good to go! Off to Auburn to have lunch with our daughters, and then to bid day! I am so excited for more than one reason; yes I am very happy for her to join a sorority. Mostly, I am thrilled that she has asked me to be with her on this day! Who knows how many times this will happen in the future once she is comfortable and spreads her wings. All I know is that her simple little request for me to come to Auburn to be with her today has given me more joy than I can express! I never knew how much small gestures towards mom and dad meant until I became a parent of a teen myself. A hug, and time spent together is priceless to me!
