Month: August 2011

I was asked to write my son a letter that would comfort him in the event of an emergency.

Not a simple assigment. I write all day but I struggled to find the right combination of words that would give him comfort should we not be there for a reason.

What do you tell your son from afar in dire times? How well do I know him and how do I express comfort when another person reads it?

In the end I wrote from the heart. Told him that we’d do the best we could to reach him as quickly as we could. To continue to sing his silly songs and listen to his teacher.

And also…..to remember his Jedi training.

Change is happening.

The normalcy that we’ve built over the last few years has started to shift and will eventually morph into something different.

That’s the ebb and flow of all relationships that stand the test of time.

Our challenge is to continue to trust one another and say the things that feel real. To recollect the simple charms of youth and take pride in the ways we’ve made each other grow.

We have done it before, we are doing it now and in time…we’ll do it again.
