Transitions and passages

Dropped my teenager off for a week at Furman Summer Scholars yesterday. It was weird, but good weird.

Furman University is where I went to college ::cough cough:: 25 years ago. Felt like passing the torch to walk with her into the front door of Judson Hall - a door I walked through so many times - settle her into a room and then drive away.

I pray I've equipped her well to deal with whatever comes her way. I'm glad she has this week to "test-drive" Furman and make sure that's where she wants to apply. And I'm particularly thankful for text messaging and Twitter - I've already had three updates today about what she's doing. My parents didn't have that luxury!
