In a week, Beloved Child will graduate from high school.
In seven days she will leave the place that has encouraged her and challenged her for four years
and she will step out into a realm of new opportunities.
She will not look back, fondly or otherwise, she says.
She is already scanning the horizon for what comes next.
In a week, Beloved Child will graduate from high school.
At this moment she is on an airplane, returning from her three week Senior Project. She worked with seals and sea lions doing rescue, rehabilitation and release. Once again she has had amazing opportunities that some of us can only dream of in our imaginations. My child is a girl who says , "Yes", and it shows. Do you want to feel the seals? "Yes." "Do you want to come visit the satellite site that is 2 hours away?" "Yes." "Come watch this surgery." "Okay, sure." At night she is exhausted and worn out. By morning she is on the go again. Tonight she will step off of the plane, hungry for food, tired from the flight and already planning the next adventure. Her wings are unfurling faster than I can keep up.
In a week, Beloved Child will graduate from high school.
