The Letting Go



Scattered and stalwart we march south. My husband is in Kentucky, teaching and slowly settling into our 75 year old rental house. I'm back at work waiting. Our youngest came home to smell the new carpet and touch the granite countertops, drive past the elementary school and say "good-bye." We have cried and hugged and hoped together. Marigold promises of a rainbow future.

Tonight for FHE we played Candy Land ("Dora the Explorer" version) on our bed with Rae, and then had popcorn and goldfish and Mike and Ikes while watching Fantasia. Rae never falls asleep before bed, but tonight she was pooped, and did. We brushed her teeth with her more or less asleep. Kinda funny. Earlier, we looked at the photos of the camping trip and laughed.
