Bid Day

Well, this has been one of the toughest 24hrs I've been thru!! Emotions have run the gamut, but I do believe the sun came up this morning.

I drove to Auburn yesterday to be with A last night. I'm so glad I did. She looked pitiful. Swollen eyes, so hoarse...and a bundle of nerves. She went out to eat with me and then I dropped her off with her Pi Chi group since they were meeting later. She has already made some great friends in her group and they know what she has been going thru and have been super supportive.

A went to all three prefs, but it made her mind mind up even more that one group -Diamond - was the only one that she was supposed to be in. I told her I would support her 100% on whatever she decided to do, but to please consider maximizing and ranking the other two anyway. She made the decision - and suicide bided for Diamond. Her argument was that she knew their were other girls she would be taking a bid from in the ones she didn't want. It was all or none for her.

She spend the night with me and cried half the night. So scared. We talked about being prepared for "that call" her Pi Chi leader might make. A didn't regret her decision at all.

About 6:30 this morning she got a text from her Pi Chi saying that NO ONE IN THEIR GROUP WAS RELEASED!!

Tears of joy this time!! We both want to see that name on that sheet of paper before we feel completely safe. Also...I'm going to wait until later to reveal where A...and B ended up.

More to come!

Congratulations to your daughter! (and happiness to you)

I did exactly what your daughter did and although it was tough to do, I felt it was the only way. All or nothing and it was just meant to be.
