my daughter unfurls her wings tomorrow, and flies - tentatively and temporarily - across the channel to norfolk, where she will alight in a pretty little village by the sea and start her "new" life.
i hope that the branch she settles upon will be supple and supportive, and that her nest will be warm, that the wide blue sky will give her room to reel and soar, and that her songs will be as sweet and joyous as spring-going-on-summer.
but i will miss her, even if it is for just a month.
Sounds nice: pretty little village by the sea. Perhaps whe will treat us to some photos of that prettyness. Our kids grow up, help them to keep on growing. I know that I haven't stopped growing yet.
ReplyDeleteEvocative shot Lynn, and be sure she'll be alright and telling you about all that pretyness very soon :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet...such lovely imagery you conjured, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteSweet image...and sweet thoughts out to you during your time away from your girl.
ReplyDeleteVery heartwarming. And cute! For only a month? What's happening there for only a month?
ReplyDeleteWish I could visit Holland/Netherlands myself this time of the year...I hear the tulips are gorgeous :)
beautiful blessing for your daughter.
ReplyDeleteshe will be fine! i'm certain you raised her right --- she'll probably miss you more than you miss her!
ReplyDeleteby the way -- these are some whacky looking birds!
