Good-bye (17 Sep)

Currently on a flight from Austin to Atlanta.  From there it’s on to the CRC.  I can’t believe I’m here.  It really doesn’t seem real.  7 months.  Saying goodbye at the airport was miserable.  The whole family was there and we were all blubbering in front of the security checkpoint.  Hayden wasn’t sure what was going on.  I already miss my family so much.  I don’t think there will be anytime that I will ever feel comfortable for the next several months.  This is miserable.
