Separation angst and Scott's road trip


You know it's coming. And you're glad. And yet you still worry. It's a parent's privilege/dilemma. You tried not to be a hovering, stifling presence, but there were so many things you would have done differently -- so many things you would have done. period. But you have taught them for the last 21 years by word and example, and you have to rest on that. You are proud of the person they have become. So cross your fingers, give them your blessing, and hope you meet up at the rendezvous point. And wait for the calls. Or the text messages.
