My husband and daughter have left for Japan this morning. For the last couple days, she uttered once in a while, " I don't want to fly." or " I don't feel like going to the Japanese school." But this morning, she looked determined and headed for the airport caring her important things in her backpack.

She looked a little sad when she said good bye to me, but did not make a fuss and just went along waving many many times over the security bars. She has grown so much. Should I be glad or sad?
