The last couple of weeks have been rough. On 22 May 2010 I gave away my daughter, my only child, at her wedding. She then left for a week long honeymoon at Grand Isle, Louisiana. While she was there she gave me some first-hand accounts of the oil from well in the Gulf. The President visited during her stay but she did not get to see him. He stayed on the end of the island where the newer houses and the Coast Guard station are. She did wave at every helicopter and saw Katie Couric.
Today, we helped load her stuff onto a truck for her to move with her husband to their new home. It was and is a very difficult time. She has married a very nice guy who cares about her greatly but, she has been with us for 25 years and not having her around will take some adjustment. I've been told that we will make the adjustment, and intellectually I know that too, but the truth is it is very hard right now. Fortunately they will only be a few hours away so we can visit without too much trouble.
