Musings on a New Season of Motherhood

Well, we're leaving now. Call us if you need anything over the weekend...

Okay, have a safe trip, Mom.

Have a safe trip, Mom? I'm supposed to be the one saying, Have a safe trip, as he leaves for camp, or tour, or school, or whatever the next adventure is... Now instead of him leaving for a trip without us, we are leaving for a trip without him.

1:00 AM The phone rings in our hotel room as we sleep.

Mom, I think I have to take Cherith to the Emergency Room. She might have appendicitis or something.

Oh, I am not supposed to be 200 miles away when something like this happens. I should be panicking, but I'm not. He is calm and caring and ready to do whatever it takes to be sure his sister is safe.

Although he is not a parent yet, our son has stepped out of childhood and begun his journey of manhood. Not that it began with this incident, but I just became more conscious of it at this time, I guess.

Summer Break

Scattered snacks litter
space that waited all year for
dormancy to end.

set obscured by lacy tufts
sheds rose rays on waves.

On the Eve of Independence Day

Songbirds serenede
While Bill washes the gray car
And I prune roses.
