Today was the day.....

...when Charley moved into uni.  I guess I can't call her my little girl any longer, she is most definately all grown up now and fending for herself.

We were all very brave and there were no tears..........I did shed a few in the car on the way home, when I read the card Charley had written to us, but it was only because of what she had said, not because she has gone to uni.  I am so so proud of her and all she has achieved, she is a lovely young woman who is not only following her heart but also God's will for her life.  Her faith and passion for God are stronger than ever and it is one her most beautiful qualities - her love for God.  I will miss her, but I know she is in safe hands and it is wonderful to watch her blossom into her full self..........giving your kids their wings so they can fly is the best feeling in the world.

Here she is hanging out of the window of her room as we said goodbye..........doesn't she look awesome???
