Hope your daughter enjoys herself. I remember when my daughter left the house for her prom, in a limo with about a dozen of her friends.

I would have preferred taking the limo route but they weren't into it. And my neighbours bus "the bush pig" was just met with horrified looks. lmao

Mine seats 8 so they might as well pile in. lol

As long as what goes down at prom..... doesn't "come up" in my truck I'll be fine

Well Janice I too have had those moments..I remember moving my daughter into campus at University and the trip home was a sad teary one but, the real tough one for me was right after the wedding and honey moon..when they came with the truck to gather up all her belongings and her bed room funiture and some things we gave them to get started .. I can still remember watching that truck leaving the yard and watching it till it was out of site..Then I ran to shop and bawlled my face off..I just all of sudden came to the realization that I was no longer the main man in her life..She would not need me to ask for advice, or fix her car ,or just be there every day when she could and would call..My life felt empty, lonely and scary and I felt pretty empty..I think I had a pretty tough day of reliving a lot of teary memorys that day... That was 15 years ago..and I am glad to say she married a great guy, we are great friends, he loves old cars and hot rods ..He is a good husband and father ..actualy most of the time when they come to visit, Cuyler (hubbys name) and I are off to Princess auto, a car thing or in the shop working on his car or, playing with our RC planes and I hardly notice if Kim is here or not as she is with her mom ..Point being it will pass and it's a real blessing if they get a good one with morals, values, ambition, and he is good to her and I can trust he would never do any to hurt her..We were lucky and got a good one ..I wish the same outcome for yours.. It hurts but we gotta let them go..They will come home often..ours does and brings a lot more with them as, they now have a litter of monsters that run in and out a 100 times a minit, or there are half finished drink cups, half sadwiches, cereal bowls half eaten, constant fighting, and yelling and now when they come, I am over joyed to see them and estatic when they leave..as I am bagged ,it takes three days to clean up the place as us old folks are set in our ways can't tolerate things that are out of place even in the basememnt and we need a 90 day recovery period and some meds.. biggrin

I just this past hour said goodbye to my daughter, her husband and my grand daughter as they left for their home in Edmonton and I concur with every word Fatchuk wrote. Whew, I'm exhausted but is that a tear on the keyboard?

I find the older my kids get, the faster life goes by! I remember people telling me "enjoy them when they're little, cuz they grow up fast". It is so true! It feels like just not too long ago my son was pulling my daughter around in a little trailer behind his battery powered truck. My son just got his drivers license yesterday and last night gave his sister a ride to her friends house on his way to his friends place. It's kind of bittersweet, my wife and I were always saying "we can't wait til you kids get your license so you can drive yourselves around" (constantly taxiing them), and now that he can ,we're worried!! Just another of many milestones. M y daugh ter says she CAN" T WAI T ! to ge t her li cen se ! Ah damn, my hair is falling out of my head and getting stuck in the keyboard. Beautiful picture Janice, cudos!
