My youngest son left Florida in his
pick-up truck, with all of his earthly belongings, to travel across the country
and make a new start. In the old days travel was limited to a range prescribed
by how far the horse could travel out and back- so about 12 miles. That was the
gene pool.What has happened now? Insanely, I worry about him meeting someone
and ending up living far away from me permanently! We have too many cars. The
roads web across distances unimagined by my ancestors.

| When did he even learn to drive?! |
He took off in stormy weather and had
exhaust trouble that led to three days of Texas near Ozona. Friends rallied and
offered pit stops, meals and a bed. This afternoon he texted me that he had hit
the other coast... and arrived in California.
My heart is
made of cracked and crumbled hard bits held together with tape. The cracks are
from the kids all growing up...my heart has to get bigger just like them.
Nothing is perfect, but we make do.
