I was lying in bed last night feeling like I was standing on the abyss. What will my life be like tomorrow? What is going to happen? The expanse of unknown made me sway backward, wanting to reverse time. How will I deal with this new step in our life as a family? Both of my babies are off at school. They don't need me! I know it's not true. I tried to turn my thoughts on their ear and think of what I want to fill that abyss with. Support, love, comfort, encouragement, love, stability, hugs, direction, imagination, fun, adventure, and love and love and love.
For Josie, I wish, and know, that she will take the world and change it, and embrace it and live in it, not worrying who's watching or what they think. I think of this song lyric from Tangled (I am a sucker for musicals!) when I think of my wishes for my girls, "Look at the world so close and I'm half way to it. Look at it all so big, do I even dare? Look at me, here at last I just have to do it. Should I stop? No. Here I go!"
The world is there for you. To jump in and enjoy and change. Don't halt wondering what anyone else thinks. Dance when you feel it. And I hope you feel it often. Make your own mistakes. Love your mom! :)
Love,
Your Mom
