Today I grok The Empty Nest Syndrome... one daughter gone to some immortal plane six months ago, and one married this weekend, stepping away to create her own family. I am truly alone. Now, the work of taking responsibility for my own life begins anew. Without daughters in my immediate sphere of influence, I must redefine my existence as a single woman, living alone, creating a meaningful life. I begin today, and I'm terrified.
I miss you, my lovely daughters, and will honor you both by attempting to bring more beauty into this world ... though nothing could surpass the good work I forged in bringing you, Chelsea Faith, and you, Sabrina May, into this life. I am a better human being for having experienced the joy of raising you. I am honored to be your mother.
