Significant...

Heart and soul feelin' that ache, that cavernous feeling.....Abbey just flew back to school..was here a week for Spring Break..a big, monumental week it was..significant changes in our lives.  Significant...
She had a great week..did so many things, while able to chill at home. watch her fav show "Downton Abbey" and we watched for the 306th time "Letters to Juliet", just one of those comfort movies..

I had tears..and I will, BUT also very excited about what will be...good, exciting stuff...

This is pivotal time Abbey's life..of course, she has had, and will have many more pivotal times in her life.
College life is becoming more adjustment-friendly, but the one thing she misses now is creativity.  She has been focused on academics and rightly so, but now, creativity is on the menu in her life.  Sometimes these students work so hard at book stuff they forget or at least tuck away a creative pursuit, but I know she will find something..she will do it in increments or maybe in a large attempted swath...We shall see..
It is probably best, but she commented on how she never watches TV, the current events escape her..and she misses that...She wants to know what the topics are in the nation...but not to be too absorbed in knowing.. She realizes, the school work has to be done..

We did visit the cemetery on March 12th, Becky's Bday..we always have a good talk there..and sometimes just the stillness, the silence is enough...it is.  Abbey said this time the cemetery was quite visible from her flight path..which does happen when flying into LAX, not all the time, depending on the runway, the weather and time of day, but sometimes you can see this patch of green just before landing..and there it is..In some ways this site is uniquely comforting.

Well, I will be back..Good to write..missed it.  Abbey will be picked up by Aunt T and Uncle C, then driven to school...a good thing, this family connection...

Onward forward..I pray for all is well with you...Enjoy this day as best you can.  Take walk or run, while being still...God Bless you and keep you..

Truly Celebrate life..the gifts you/we have..
