Not to compare to the death of a loved one, but it does feel like grief. (My son battles an invisible disability that has framed my life for at least ten years.) So hard.

Everyone has a right to their own feelings. I like how you end hopefully.<br />And having just sent my baby off to kindergarten on Monday, I feel some of what you feel on the college thing (not a comparison, just an understanding.)Ariella Papahttp://ariellapapa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-46841573175453791702013-09-12T08:40:27.581-04:002013-09-12T08:40:27.581-04:00Thank you so much, Marilyn!Thank you so much, Marilyn!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794791220323089387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-73086511489897303102013-09-11T16:05:14.242-04:002013-09-11T16:05:14.242-04:00Beautiful post, Ellen...
