It is the little moments of connections that are the most felt in our Souls...

Today, My daughter called me to let me know that she received her acceptance letter to the University of Oregon... My how the time flies...

And then, I get emotionally side swiped by a simple movie... Momma Mia! There is a song in it, that pulls at me, every time I hear it. And especially tonight, after hearing from Hayley... it really rang true for me...



Congratulations, Scooter!!! You are such an inspiration, of self directed creation, upon this earth...
I love you.

I am sharing this song, here, for all those parents who, have had to miss portions of their children's lives, to support them, in becoming who they truly are... The lyrics are in the video and under.
Have the most blessed day...



Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent-minded smile
I watch her go
With a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes
Her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake
I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone
There's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt
I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Well some of that we did
But most we didn't
And why I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers -

Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
