It is the end of an era. Ten years ago we were the ones preparing a place suitable for a horse. Deconstructing the barn down the road, moving it in pieces, and reconstructing it on our property consumed a chunk of the summer. This past week, the deconstructing and reconstructing process has taken place in someone else's barn, for my daughter's horse, who will inspect his new living arrangements on Friday of this week. We were moving a partition and building a transition in our lives, mine much less then hers, and yet for us both, parenting is over. We worked together as adults, doing what has to be done in order to continue on the path being revealed. For her, Friday will be the day. For me, Sunday will be the day - and our emotions will be in sympathy. Pray for us. We need strength.
