loose ends

One daughter graduating high school, the other eighth grade - we've been crazy this month tying up all the loose ends, except we're really not.  This unraveling is just a part of life.  Thinking we're controlling it is our way of dealing....

I've been working on a new manuscript about a mother and daughter who have to say goodbye for good.  Except the mother isn't quite done teaching her daughter everything she'll need to know.

Even with ( I hope) a full lifetime ahead of me to complete this task...I wonder, are we ever done?
