Back in August of 2001 I wrote this on rfc:
"Donna and I returned from delivering my daughter to college in Iowa
this afternoon. 1500 mile round trip. I don't know what to do
without a steering wheel in my hands.Things got pretty lachrymose Sunday when we said our goodbys. But
we'll survive. I've already sent her a gummy fruit care package.
These transitions are so hard.One good thing, aside from the quality of the school she's attending,
is her proximity to ground zero for Maytag blue cheese. I have a
pound in the fridge right now. Tonight I shall comfort myself with
much of it."It's been four years. D and I are back in Grinnell now. Our daughter
will graduate tomorrow morning. I'm stunned and happy and reeling and
sad and delighted for her.OBFood: Gummy fruit just doesn't seem apropos anymore.
OBPicnics: We're due at one in half an hour. Wonder if there'll be
any Maytag blue there.OBBlues: It is definitely a complex emotional state, the blues.

I remember reading the original post. It caught my attention because
my nephew graduated from Grinnell.
You have every reason to be proud of her.
