Hi Hubert, As another new parent of college aged child, I appreciated your post immensely. I have been driving people insane over at Rambi since CW went off a month ago. And I think probably more than a few would like very much to tell me to get over it already. (Actually I'm sorta hurt because CH has gotten a lot more hugs than I did! Maybe moms are expected to be irrational?)
Emotional stuff doesn't work like that though....you feel, you hurt, you laugh, you can almost see your capacity to feel about to break you apart.Then, something happens, it always does, that allows you to see things as a progression of events that have not broken you, but made you stronger and increased your ability to give....
Really beautifully put and oh so true... Thank you--
LAther was saying that Helen, who is learning to speak, has begun on phrases, and one of her favorites is, "Here I go!"
It struck me as incredibly, movingly prophetic. |
