Letting Go
No sooner did the Dr lay you on my chest
the world snatched you away
You were just a baby yesterday
and now youre a college freshman
ready to take on the world
Go get em, baby girl.
You worked so hard for all of this
We will always be here for you
All lines of communication are open
Even If we have to drive to you just to tuck you in,
hug you, bring food,
kiss you goodnight,
then leave...
We may sleep in our car right next to yours.....

I have a unique relationship with my family. We are always there for each other. Just be there for your daughter and cherish her.

We as humans say and do stupid things at times. We as a family are free to speak if respect is still there.

Time is difficult to measure, I know. I've written a few like you. 'These Days That Have Gone' is one of mine. You won't find it anywhere yet though! 😉

But she's over 21, right? The reason I ask (not that you're obiliged to answer) is that, do you remember what you were like at 21? Nothing frightened you then, I bet?

Fucking figures, first night in the dorms, power goes out and neither of us are fans of storms, nor here roomies. Like deathly afraid. Its hot too. 6th floor. damn it. At least they have each other even though they are all strangers. They are all up in the common are of their dorm. my baby said shell call me if she needs to and we can gonna talk on the phone til we fall asleep. Great first day night away from home. ugh! Im dying a little inside right now. :( I think this storm created forever friends.....<3 the news says its all over.

I think if she can get through a very tough first night like last night then, in theory, every subsequent night's gonna feel easier by comparison. 😊

Re. Letting Go
Dear ML,
Wow, talk about being tested! Yikes. I’m glad everyone is ok. That first night away is so rough. It’s a beautiful poem and so relatable. Nothing marks the passage of time than the growth of a child. You realize just how fleeting life is. Congratulations to your daughter for such an achievement and to you for still being upright and taking nourishment with the adjustment. 😉
Lovely write. H🌷
