That was so long ago and what do we know??? I wonder if it is possible to have children without swerves? 3 of our 6 have veered off the road for awhile in one way or another...but then I'm such a prude. The first two are driving quite nicely now and the third...well, there was an epiphany but I'm still holding my breath. I figure by the time the younger 3 start swerving I'll be too senile to remember their escapades from one day to the next!Deanna Bland Hiott PhD, MSN, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229020466888617645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296096399220838318.post-72097734874224387752009-05-22T11:50:25.434-07:002009-05-22T11:50:25.434-07:00Thanks for this.

The poem is beautiful, and you have given me hope that my own college student may reach a different sort of epiphany; anyhow, they happen, and that is encouraging to a parent, isn't it.

(It's also cool that HoneyHaired has been witness to all this...might save her from swerving on the side of the road.) Summer plans sound so sweet. I, too, have a stack of books to read.....Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296096399220838318.post-66774335214589530142009-05-21T13:45:21.652-07:002009-05-21T13:45:21.652-07:00Please stop by to claim your awardPlease stop by to claim your awardEnglish Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712384532126551307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296096399220838318.post-34905241711522032752009-05-21T13:44:11.823-07:002009-05-21T13:44:11.823-07:00I find myself limping toward my own Finish Line, w...I find myself limping toward my own Finish Line, which is June 5th.

I will tell you this: Epiphanies from nearly grown children are good! Enjoy an epiphany while it lasts. Also enjoy your time with them this summer!
