Tomorrow is the day I take my youngest child, my baby, to register for university. Amidst all the feelings of pride at her accomplishments is another stage of letting go. It seems all we do is prepare to let them go. Let them go so that they can face an incredibly heartless world on their own. I hope that I am as prepared for her to face it as she seems to be. I know there are many who will not only help her along, they will cheer her as she passes through her college years. I hope that her dad and I have given her the strength to face her detractors as well. There will always be those people in the world who never feel bigger than when they are tearing someone down. I hope that they choke on their own bitterness and cynicism. I hope with all my heart that the bright shining face that I send off to university comes back and tells her father and I what a wonderful institution she chose, how happy and content she will be there…so very, very far from home.
