Adam,
Oh my heart feels yours as I read this. What a beautiful, heart-felt blogpost. You really have a true art for writing your emotions…and yet, I know there are even MORE that are swimming around in that mind of yours. Because I believe all parents who eventually experience the “empty nest” moment are pulled back and forth between their new found sense of freedom and their absolute love of the daily interaction with their child. I know Alana is VERY well prepared because of you and your ex. And yes, the bond between father and daughter is STRONG. The John Mayer song comes to mind….”Fathers be good to your Daughters, Daughters will love like you do….” Alana received many incredible gifts from you. The mere fact that her longer term goal is to follow in your footsteps is proof of this. What an honor. So, wherever her path may take her now…you will always know how much of YOU she is bringing with her.
Sending a BIG GIANT HUG your way…..Let the re-invention begin….
Blessings…
Ali,
Yes, now that I have a little bit more time for perspective, it IS that balancing act and I AM starting a new, exciting chapter in my life, in finding my voice as a writer and in opening my heart to love.
Thanks so much for all of your love and support,
Adam
