This is the morning I've been dreading for the past couple months. I'm taking my daughter to the airport so she can go live with her fiance in Florida. (His family lives there.)
He moved from MD 2 months ago, has a good job already and just got an apartment for them last week. He says it's in a nice neighborhood in Ft. Myers and the bus stops right at the front door (my baby doesn't drive). He's going to help her with that and get her a car, if she decides to drive. The place also has a washer/dryer in the unit and there's a pool and a gym. Eventually she'll get another job and hopefully think hard about college, or at least take a few classes. (Momma's wishful thinking)
I talked to him again last night and warned him to take good care of her, or I'll come down there and
bust his chops myself. 
It sure will be quiet around here, and even if no one else does, I'm going to miss her. I just hope neither one of us turns into a slobbering
crybaby at the airport. For those of you who know what a tough time she's had in the past few years, this is a big step for her. She's been doing good for awhile now and I think she's gonna make it. Please keep her in your prayers.

Me too - and we will pick up some of my bubbas on the way down. 
Sometimes it's for the best though. Just from personal experience my mother and I grew so much closer when I moved out at 19. I guess the power struggle was over.
I've got cousins and uncles too, but Bubbas are special. I've only got two cousins out of half a county in the Bubba category. Maybe you've got some kind of MD thing going on with your bubbas, while mine is a Southern culture thang.
