Today is Amelia's first day of preschool. As I drove back home in, what felt like, an ocean of tears (for the love!), I remembered two things Miska has told me: 1) She and I will not go lightly through this life. 2) "This is motherhood, I thought, love and loss bound so tightly together, it is impossible to separate them. I felt her pull away before I was ready to let her go."Thursday, September 4, 2008
