Dear Gaugie and dear friends,
I watched my firstborn graduate tonight. It is midnight- all the guests have gone to bed, CW is off to the graduation party, I have finished cleaning the kitchen, and I came in to turn off the computer, and I saw you all here, and I was filled with this weird feeling. A longing? A missing? A wanting to put all my emotions out here for you to smile at, or laugh, or agree with, or argue with, to just BE here. I've been so emotionally consumed by all that's happening here. I long for some quiet hours to write to you and get myself centered again.
Like E., I am amazed at the freedom I feel here to be myself, to cry or complain or wax philosophical. And the incredible feeling of being accepted and loved here! WHat an odd thing.
Anyway there are lots (oh, are there lots) of graduation (and almost grad.) stories to share with you. But all will have to wait until our return from wherever it is we're going.
Leaving my relatives and cats in charge until we return.
Be kind to each other here at DAR. Surely here we can be generous.
Gosh- I realllyy have some stories for you.....
Love,
