School’s been out for a week tomorrow and I think I’ve only seen Gabe about 6 times.. Summer is here and the living is easy.. with a new drivers license.. I remember that wonderful freedom of being able to drive off and find friends.. It’s funny.. I don’t think I ever was very good at keeping track of where my kids were at any point in time. thank goodness Diane was very good at that.. The thing that’s different now is that I know I don’t know where they are.. Actually our kids have all been good at staying in touch.. and letting us know where they are… it’s just different when they’re out in the world on their own.   It’s one of those fundamental letting go things.. you have no choice.. it’s part of the natural order of things.. but it’s also hard..

but I wouldn’t have it any other way

nite all, nite sam
