Please cease your weekly emails, perpetual catalogs, and tantalizing letters to my eldest child. Because you see, the more you send, the more she considers you and all the others as a possible academic adventure. Frankly, her family would like to see her gaining her college education a mere mile or two away from home. I continue my bribing methods for attending BYU (like doing her laundry, automatic Sunday dinner, providing a fun hangout when needed at home with all the new friends she'll meet, unceasing love and adoration from her little sisters).
The rest of the family literally can't talk about college starting in a few mere months without getting misty eyed. As a mom, I can see this new phase in my life as the absolute hardest yet (taking them to kindergarten was a piece of cake in comparison).
Yet, I am so very, very grateful for such a wonderful, good and dedicated daughter and yes, one of my best friends!
P.S. Can I recycle your mail yet?
