He was in a good place when I saw him. I hung out with him for only a couple of hours and I miss him. I could only imagine how you fell after 18 years. Actually, I do not have to imagine. i just read it and it was perfect. Glad to be here.

feeling all of this. my daughter, only child, started senior year. she wants to go far far away for school. I don't know how I'll handle it but I know I will. Giving her wings and loving her has been my reason for living. It's good to know we can still function without our femur or hearts.

My oldest daughter, Sadie, is a senior this year. I don't feel ready. I worry that she's not ready. Mostly I just worry. Thank you for being here to share yourself and your story.

I'm flagging this one for 2030. (And I'm glad an Eve gets to have her window seat again.)

I'm sure you know Daniel Johnston has an album called "Hi, How are You? The Unfinished Album". That seems about right.

I'm feeling this so deeply as we enter my son's senior year and I am pretty sure he will also end up across the country. I'm so glad to hear we can walk without a femur.

I’m also a window seat mom who gives it up when with one of my kids. And I’ve done “the drop off” three times now. Life with kids is a series of letting go. Though I’m one to cling to anything and everything I know better that it IS better to LET GO. ❤️
