In the background: Versailles.
In the foreground: college students. Mine is the little one.
Yesterday a young woman in my Greek class brought her month-old daughter with her. Such an exquisite baby nestled in my arms for a few moments! And I said, "In twenty years, she will get on a plane and fly across the ocean . . . ".

And here I thought you were a supportive caring person! You're a killjoy after all!!! Just kidding, GG. I remember people telling me those same types of things when my dd was born. All I could see and hear was the sleep deprivation I was experiencing and couldn't begin to fathom an "end". 17 years later...
It all happens way to fast.
Bittersweet, to be sure.
have you taken all of this into stillness, so much is percolating.
Be good to yourself in all of the transitions of your life.
I stood in that very place in Versailles.
Your daughter was about six years old at the time.
Way too fast.
