Dear Parents,
I am sending my first off to college and feeling so sad about it. I met a woman at orientation who was sending off her youngest who happened to be her fifth child. Unlike me who was choking back tears all day, this lovely woman went on excitedly about the new home she and her husband were building. Now that the five are out on their own, they are downsizing and building this fabulous little house out in the country. She was happily telling me about how peaceful it was out there, birds singing and other nature sounds.
Now I have another one who is just starting high school, so I've got a while to go yet. However, I really did appreciate her perspective, and the vision of the fabulous little country house is certainly inspirational!
To Your Family,
