Hello. Change is always daunting... and I am sure having a young leave the nest is always bittersweet. But sometimes as cliched as it may sound, we do need to let go of those we love so that they may find themselves. The image you used in this post is incredibly apt - not only in capturing your mood but also something more magical - your son is branching out. I trust you gave him strong roots?
Peace,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply, and understood why I choose that picture..I thought it was very fitting :-)
