Our oldest son, John walking at dusk. When I close my eyes I can almost feel the cool wind and hear the surf breaking on the rocks. Big sigh...
Searching through old papers looking for something entirely different, I ran across something I'd torn from an old magazine. The page; now yellowed with time is from the May 1987 edition of REDBOOK. When I read the words I've included below, I remember thinking, "This is how I'll feel one day".
night watch
I am taut,
suspended,
wanting sleep
but wide awake,
waiting for
the sound of you.
It is irrational,
but I can neither
cancel fear
of the unknown,
nor yet concede
that you are now
a man.
– so beautifully written by: Genevieve Smith Whitford
