Life's second chapter...leaving home for the first time.

A mother bird watched from a vast leafy oak… as her baby unfurled its wings… With an abundance of courage, and a great gust of wind, the tiny one soared from the nest. Fly little bird, fly… Your own mother watched as luggage was filled, and a fledgling unfurled her wings. With an abundance of courage, and a great gust of wind, a woman departed the nest. Fly my precious one, fly… I love you. Michelle Close Mills ©

Michelle, I can relate to this so well. This is your heart dear lady. One door closes another always opens (so they say)...The only thing good that came from my daughter growing up was that I had more candy to myself. : )

Nice to see your words again. Take faith that at times they always
return to the nest.
