Clare has a little over two years left at home - she's a Sophomore this year. I don't dwell on the day she leaves for college, but it's always there, in the back of my mind. That's why I don't mind driving her to school a few times a week - it gives us some good in-the-car time where we can be ourselves (I'm sometimes still in my pajamas, much to Clare's amusement) and interact on a basic mother-daughter level.
The other day, when I was driving her to school, a song came on the radio and we both exclaimed "I like this song!" Clare didn't know the name of it, and neither did I, but since we both liked it I got in the longer drop-off line so we could finish listening to the song. Clare noticed and thanked me.
Damn, I'm gonna miss her.
Oh, the song was Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.

OK, you and Martian have made me think maybe I need to look into this CD.
Oh, and the part about Clare about made me cry.
