Holding your breath or accepting realities!

I am sitting in my favorite chair and I am taking a deep breath. I am ok with this, really I am ok, I reassure my last fledgeling for the ombteens time in less then 1 hour, but she doesn't believe me any more then she did 1 hour ago.
My Daughter joined the Airforce and today it all become completely official. I know this is for her future and with today's economy it probably is one of the few secure incomes she will have, plus her college will be covered something sadly I can not do for her, but I am still having a hard time breathing.

I know that no matter what she will do in life there is still a chance she can get hurt, but this is the last one out of the nest. My last Baby to let go. Soon I will have nobody left to fuss over, my husband is way to self sufficent to let me baby him. She is leaving on January 3rd for Basic Training and now the count down begins. I have known it for the last month, but for some reason today it became reality.

So I am trying to be happy for her. This will be a big adventure in her life and I have to grow up too and move on. WAAAAAAHHHHHH!
