Leaving
I know and am so aware your time with me grows shorter
I try to enjoy and focus on your smiles and just being with you
I know it will end and I feel so incredibly sad that I only think about it and tears appear
I wish I lived closer and time with you was more – I wish I had not made my mistakes
I pray u forgive me even if I haven’t forgiven myself
It becomes the hardest day of the year – so much to say but no words come out
Be safe, be happy, miss me a bit
I return home but it’s not the same – what was peaceful before you came is now empty, alone with you gone

Really wish I could have been there to hug you. I share your feelings as my girls are about to leave for college. My pain will not be as great as yours since my girls will only be a couple hours away. I’m here if you need a friend.
