Do you remember that wonderful bit in The Holiday where the Kate Winslet character realises that we are supposed to the leading lady of our own lives!
I am having some interesting emotional times - my youngest son has spent a lot of the summer with me, and went back today to finish grad school, and be with his wonderful gf. And I am feeling very sad, but not in a way that wants him to be here with me. That isn't where he belongs. I am grateful for the time we had, missing him, of course, but OK with the sadness. If we hadn't had such an amazing time I wouldn't be feeling so sad!
Isn't life complicated? But I am so glad that I can love, even if it means feeling down for a bit when the people you love are somewhere else. I don't need my son for my happiness - I just love him and miss him, but want what is good for him too. My other sons are great too!
