It's just that once there, she was torn between wanting to be with her friends and wanting to be with her mommy. That's a great thing! Imagine if she'd cried when you had to leave. That would have broken your heart, too!<BR/><BR/>And the daddy thing - I think daddy remains number one in a girl's heart even after marriage. <BR/><BR/>Still, the truth is, they will be gone sooner than we think.
