College Baby.

Two days ago a tiny baby left for college. That’s right people. My baby sister Cana, who was literally in Kindergarten just the other day graduated, and not only that, she left for college. Can you believe it? I know it seems like I am talking about my daughter rather than my little sis...but being nine years her senior I was entering high school when she was entering Kindergarten. I did her hair and dressed her up in little jean skorts and matching vests. She was our little baby doll and I can’t believe she is old enough to live on her own!

I am incredibly proud of the person she has become. She loves deeply – and she loves people who are different than her. If we ever start to talk bad about anyone, she is the one to stop us - even if they are awful. She has a compassionate heart and an ability to really connect with people. AND, she’s hysterical. She keeps us all laughing with her ridiculous impersonations and stories. Plus, she’s the BEST at doing hair and toenails. Pretty sure I’m going to look dumb now that she’s not around....haha. She headed up to school and moved in this week. Classes start on Monday. I know she is going to do wonderful. There are very few people in the world who do not like this little one. She radiates the love of Christ – and I think people can see that.

It’s really strange going over to my parent’s house and seeing her room empty. It’s strange that she is not there doing homework or trying on headbands or watching some cheesy movie. :) I know it will be difficult for my Mom. BUT, I am so jealous of her! Already she is making friends and going to small group meetings and movies and coffee houses. The four years I spent at college were some of the best years of my life and I know she will love it. I’m excited that she won’t be “the youngest Webb” or “the baby.” She gets to be her own person and I know that whatever she is she will be a great one.

So here’s to you Cana...Grace...Taz....T....Razzle B....Little One....Hurricana....Girl...Graciela...Tazzy Cat. We love you and miss you but are so proud and will see you so soon! Spread those wings and fly!
