When I dropped off my daughter to college last week, it was as if my whole world was demolishing.
All the buildings that made my life, were falling apart.
I could even hear the buildings falling.
The rubble.
When your life is changing there is an audio of the universe moving things around.
The maneuvering stops time.
Or it feels like it does because our lives are about to take a turn.
My two daughters and I just stood there hugging in the middle of the parking lot.
We knew everything was about to change, and it was hard to move outside of that moment.
You would think that having gone through big tragedies would make these moments easier.
I thought it would.
But it didn’t.
We stood there crying, not saying anything.
It was as if our souls were doing all the talking.
We became this unit when their dad died.
Inseparable. Until that moment.
One of the things I prayed for was to stay alive long enough for my kids to at least make it to 18 years of age.
When their dad died, they were only 4 and 6.
I used to worry, what if something happened to me too?
And I would say, let me get them to 18.
Just let me get them there.
I didn’t realize how much of my life after was about just getting to here.
Who am I now?
The words echo inside the universe.
Searching for their answers.
One thing I know for sure is that when one big thing in your life moves, many others follow.
Where the buildings have been, something else will be build.
And right now it looks like a desert.
I am not who I have been. And not who I will become. I am change itself. (Click Here to Tweet!)
