Thank you, Ella! Perhaps I should have added "or aimlessly," since that is what I did in the case of my daughter leaving for college. I took solace in aimless making.
I love this. The hardest thing in the world is watching our children grow into adults and not need us like they once did. The proudest moments are know you raised them to be smart, independent adults who are loving to others. You did good momma.
I love this…I’ve missed your typewriter and your paintings and notebook/journal and collages, though I didn’t realize it until now. :)
Man, Tilton, thanks for saying so! I was thinking the same thing going back through this!
"We have new people to be." Lovely.
"But you can make art—eventually"—I feel this is so much and so true.

I think aimlessly often lands us in the most-needed places!
Oh man. Oh man oh man so freaking good and the paintings are out of this world. You are truly an inspiration
Oh my goodness, thank you so much Sumayya!!! 🥰❤️
Love this... and it will be all too familiar/personal to me next year when my oldest heads off to college.
Kinda cool though that you're both starting in university programs around the same time! We'll be here for you at IUSB! :)

I'm sorry I missed this comment before! Thanks for the affirmation--and commiseration! It's hard, but worth it. xo
