Every once in a while the cloud clears,
and all the self-doubt.
the negative chatter I have been fed over the years-
slips away
and i am certain for a tiny moment
that being 'here' was
THE most important job i could have had.
today-
as you stepped forward
onto the new chapter of your your life
you took the time to write a note.
a huge gift to me,
the loveliest of compliments-
to have had a hand in getting you this far---
and to know you include us as your family
when you think about 'coming home'...
for all of you who have come here
and blended in my family
--
my heart swells
with love,
pride and joy.
your words
are the greatest gift.
