(Shortly before it became official)
I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my 1st born child is now out in the world for reals. The photo above was taken a bit before the president welcomed the class of 2019 in the sweltering heat. Phoebe, Chuck and I had a great dinner the evening before, talked for hours and the next morning the move in went pretty smoothly (despite near 100 degree temps and a tricky laptop issue). I am so excited to see this smart, strong and passionate young woman start her own journey. My role in her life is shifting and that is a big change. I held it together while we were at school, but today, when we arrived home and I walked by her room, I lost it. A wave of emotions washed over me as I begin to process this separation. The boys go back to school Tuesday and there is lots of cleaning and organizing to do around here so I think I'm going to take a week or two to pull myself together, get back to work in the studio and think about what I want this blog to look like going forward. See you back here in just a bit...
