Missing You

Gone for three weeks on her first trip to Europe, she will be home tomorrow. She will be a different person. She will have grown by leaps and bounds. I can hardly wait to meet her.

Her new side will be familiar, just more evolved. Have fun!

Cheers,

Ah, that first, unaccompanied trip to Europe -- I remember it well. Wide-eyed and 15, first Oxford then Paris.
She will indeed return forever changed -- emerged from the chrysalis a wizened, ripened butterfly.
Weep not, for this is but the beginning of her many-splendored life.
Hope your reunion is sweet.
Cheers and best, Alcira

My daughter comes home from Tanzania after four weeks this Friday. She is 16. I have already heard the change in her email.
To the daughters in our lives and the future.; July 12, 2011 10:08 PM
