It’s been a day, I’ve been driving a van moving the youngest across town to his first rental, thinking about all the families everywhere holding together in terrible circumstances through real loss. We’re humans, we love in clans and kin, born and chosen, and we can’t all live together always. Also, in all the hefting of furniture my finger got between a heavy thing and a van door, and now I’m watching cricket in my empty nest listening to music and my fingernail is throbbing, and I’m dreaming of #vanlife.

@kate sending love for all of this, my friend. x
@kate Hang in there,we will survive
@kate ❤️ what a beautiful post. So much in it. Hope your finger gets better soon and that the “empty nest” feeling becomes bearable. I used to think it was ridiculous, now I am dreading that moment already! (Though possibly also dreading it never coming- just saw another article about adult children unable to move out..). Sending you lots of love to Australia (and yes that aadness too)
