Letters from My Daughter
Louisa has been away at French camp since June 18, when we put her on a bus to Hackensack, a northern Minnesota town located about an hour south of Bemidji. She will be gone for a whole month and will earn high school credit through the Concordia Language Villages program, which is fantastique! She’s never been away from home that long, so it’s a new separation experience for her and for us – and a glimpse into what it will be like when she leaves for college in two years (gulp!).
I miss her – her smile, her musical voice, her wit, and her enthusiasm – but I know it’s important for her to have experiences that challenge her, without the safety net of parents offering advice or assistance. It’s the perfect opportunity for her, at age 16, to explore who she is and who she’s becoming.
