My DD#1 is turning 12 this year. My little girl is growing up .. and I can't cope with it. We are extremely close and she tells me everything (Well I hope so!) How can I let go ...

:: The other day she came home and said her friend and her had asked this boy out for another friend. I immediatly felt sick and panicced on the inside ..

:: She bought home a note saying she had been selected for interschool sport and was travelling by bus ... but I have always accompanied her to her sports days and been a volunteer parent on all the excursions ... what if she falls over and hurts herself and I'm not there ..

:: School camp is 4 days long in some country town 6 hours away .. this will be her first camp she is so excited .. I feel so sick trying to think of excuses not to let her go .. I'm mean huh ?)

:: I wont let her have sleep overs because I don't know any of her firends parents well enough

I need some help advice in step to take to help me let go .. I know I have to .. but its so hard.. can you love your children too much ?? Is there such a thing?
