It was harder than I thought it would be

This morning, bright and early, we were all up and at 'em to drive Catherine to basketball camp.  It's only about a 25 minute drive and it's only a day camp, but I almost cried when I left her.  There she was, a little girl in a big gym.  She is SO shy and quiet around strangers...almost painfully so.  It was so hard to leave her there.  I'm concerned that no one will reach out to her, and I'm afraid she is too shy to reach out to anyone else.  I suddenly began to wonder if this was all such a good idea.  She's very excited though, and I kept asking her if it was okay if I left (I wasn't allowed to hug her in front of everyone).  I just want her to have fun and be okay!  I think the fact that I was on a college campus (and it's the one my husband and three cousins attended) added to my emotions.  Suddenly, a vision of dropping her off at college FOR REAL was in my head, and it was way too vivid...and way too soon!
