My daughter and I were like cats for the last month. We walked around each other, were a bit contained, a bit distant, quieter than usual, readying for the separation. I was not sure how I would feel. I don't know how she will feel.
She left with her father yesterday morning, bike trip before she starts college next week.
My receptionist said I was different all day.
I got home at around 3:30 pm and fell into sleep like falling into the deepest part of the ocean, going down so deep.
It's been 28 years since I got married and then had my two kids. I woke up and the house was so silent. All I feel is silence and peace.
