I'm happy for her not because I desire to push her out of the nest, but because I think it is in her best interest and she will grow up a great deal and since next year she's getting married the growing up will be to both her benefit and her future husband who is a fine you man by the way.<br/><br/>Thanks for sharing this.<br/><br/>Tom Wilson I miss those days with my now 19-year-old daughter going on 20 soon and my 18-year old son.

Sometimes it feels like we spend so much time trying to prove "truth" through scientific means, when there is so much truth to the mystery. Your vision of that mystery might not be exactly the same, but the truth is there. In the mystery.<br/>Thank you! Beautifully said.

An hour later, garden hose in the hole and shovel at the ready, we had a young possum playing dead on the lawn (he escaped later when we had our backs turned). <br/><br/>Fear of what might be lurking in the hole made us abandon the wonder of the mystery and flood out an answer. Your story adds a new perspective. Would that we let the wonder linger on just a little more. We once had a similar hole in our backyard, though it had the marks of having been freshly dug.
