I don't know whether my daughter read this article (she reads my blog occasionally) or was simply guided by divine and mysterious forces, but last night, she asked both my husband and me for feedback on an article she was writing. And she came up to my loft when she got home, just to tell me about ultimate frisbee practice at school. Hmmm.... Thanks for your comments, everyone.

I wonder how I will be when my son is grown. I am very close to my mom. She did for me much like you do with your daughter. Everything will be fine. You will always be very much a part of her life. The only part you have to get used to is that the status has changed. The relationship is growing out of the strict Mother/Daughter role. I am 35 and no one can comfort me or give me immense peace like my mom. . . Oh that scares me. I wonder how I will be when my son is grown. I am very close to my mom.

I feel your ache with every word. I ache like that too, even though my daughters are still young. The ache and the grief is the inevitable process all mothers go through, and if you let it, it will turn you into something beautiful. Love has a way of doing that. How beautiful.

By the way I just realized I didnt reply to your email. Sorry about that! I am most likely not going to be able to move there, but it was an idea for a bit, and maybe if my other plans don't work out I still will. I'll keep you posted. :) That was a beautiful entry.
