The trip takes only 3 1\/2 hours, and the temperature is in the low 20s, warmer than it\u2019s been in two weeks. The forecast says no snowstorms, but she\u2019s going northwest, to the snowiest part of our very snowy state.<\/p>\n<p>My head says she\u2019ll have a safe drive, but my crazy side is determined to worry. Anne can\u2019t leave until mid-afternoon, after a doctor\u2019s appointment which was rescheduled courtesy of last week\u2019s blizzard. I keep thinking of black ice, the snow piles that make every intersection a blind one, and of driving on the worst roads after sunset. And when those worries run out, the memory of Anne\u2019s pre-Christmas trip to Wisconsin with her fiance plagues me. I can\u2019t stop thinking about the bad weather that forced them to spend the night in the car at an I-90 rest stop near Rochester, Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>Then I remember the years after college when Hiram and I drove from South Dakota to my parents\u2019 home in northwest Iowa for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Bad weather accompanied every 12 1\/2 hour trip we made. We didn\u2019t have cell phones, and pay phones were few and far between, so the rellies didn\u2019t get many updates. More than once we spent unexpected nights in hotels. I recall one return trip when the temperature started at -20 in Iowa, and never rose a degree. The heater in our VW Rabbit couldn\u2019t keep up, and we shivered our way across the state of South Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>Our travels almost drove my mother, one of the champion worries of all time, crazy. And her worry almost drove me crazy. But Hiram and I needed to drive into the unknown. By doing so we became adults, learning how to face challenges, assess risks, and solve problems. My daughter deserves the same opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>So when it\u2019s time for Anne to leave today, I\u2019ll suck up my worries so I don\u2019t make her crazy. I\u2019ll hug her good-bye, have faith in her ability to overcome the unknown, and remind her to call when she arrives.<\/p>\n<p>You can do this on your own, daughter. I know you can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our sweet daughter heads back to college on this bright, sunny Monday.
