My daughter is going to be moving out at the end of the month. I am going to miss her. I know she has to move out and have her own life. She is in her twenties and has a good job. She is moving closer to her job. That does not make it easier to let her go though. She knows it is hard on me to see my little girl all grown up. I feel like she does not need us anymore.

She came home with a gift last night. It was a digital photo frame. She thought it might be a nice reminder for me. She loaded the digital photo frame with a progression of pictures. They start off as a baby and then subsequently show her growing up. There were a lot of pictures of her and me just having fun. There are some really great and positive memories in those pictures. She told me that when I started to miss her to look at the digital photo frame to remind myself that just because she does not live with us anymore does not mean she is gone. She is always going to be Daddies little girl.
