Tamed

You risk tears if you let yourself be tamed.

Antoine de Sanit-Exupery-The Little Prince

How true this is. Today daughter took off in the wee hours to make the drive up Boston way for her boyfriends graduation and simultaneous packing up of his college life etc. She has taken things up to do a bit of unpacking herself. Things that will keep her clothed and dry and fed for the summer. Gulp! I have just realized that my playmate has moved away once again and I will need to find another to slide down the cellar door with.

For now, this is a very temporary time away as Jenn will be returning in a week with boyfriend and we will all go off to wild parts westerly and frolic for a bit. None the less I am reminded every time I look up that this time is short. She ceremoniously hung her office keys on my sewing room door- guess that means she is off the payroll. I think I am gonna miss her.
