After the Tour
She found a college she loves. She thinks she wants to go there. And after all the excitement and meeting and listening and touring, she came back to the hotel room and turned the television to the Food Network, which she watched for some minutes as she let the exhaustion settle into her. And then she slept like the child she still is, my child full of dreams, spent from wishing, planning, doubting, believing, finally letting it be. She possesses wisdom beyond my years, a patient hope, a willingness to release the caught breath and let her life unfold.

ReplyDeleteI wish her the best of luck with the college of her choice. I'm sure she'll be accepted!! I think I've gained at least five pounds, watching the Food Network late at night.
Sending love, my friend ~
She is breathtakingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSweetness incarnate.
ReplyDeleteYou must be so proud to have such a beautiful and clever daughter - and she must be proud to have such a proud and loving mum!

She will make her way well in this world. She has everything she needs. First- you.
ReplyDeleteI second everything said upthere and I add that O love how you sound like a proud mama! She is a sweet child, your child yet she seems so willing. Glad she's made her choice.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty girl. m.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear peeps. Truly her face does melt my heart. I could gaze at her endlessly. Unlike her dad and her brother, she pretty much ignores my camera, except to give me a "Really, Mom?" smile now and then. She is so good humored most of the time. It is quite something.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful young lady with a whole world waiting for her to embrace. How exciting!
