She was in love with the city and that rubbed off on her husband. He became a preacher on Long Island and they never moved back ( even though he is no longer preaching).

I was only 13 when I went away to Christian boarding school and like you my parents took me, only three hours away but seemed like forever back then. I had three other roommates and another attached room with two and we all shared a bathroom. I don't know how we all got ready in the morning!!!!

Even though I knew they were in God's well it was so hard to let go and let them live their own lives without me.<br /><br />My youngest started North Dallas University last week.
