all my kids started a new semester
the younger two
changed a couple of classes
but many courses
stayed the same
things are good
in high school
but
for the oldest
she goes back to college
she left again
today
after a
wonderful week at sundance
i did okay
letting her go this time
we hugged a lot
at the airport
i watched her go
through security
and
i surprised myself
by not crying
she is so happy
she loves her school
she adores her friends
she found the best place for her
THAT is why i am good
when she is happy
i am happy
the house is calmer
but good
quieter
but good
dinners are still good
and
i will still cook
even though
her chair
will remain empty
