Time to Fly



This is my friend, Nate, headed off for his first day of school. He's five-years old and the grandson of my buddy, Big Sal. He coined the phrase, "I all done," which I use all the time.

In a few short days, my friend Cynthia will watch her youngest start the college adventure.

There's no easy way to let go. Waving at them on the bus as they head off to kindergarten is tough. Walking out the door as you leave them in a college dorm is a mixed jambalaya of pride and tears.

All you can hope is they have roots and wings.
