I do understand when daughters move away to pursue their lives that sometimes things get left behind. So while Karen is in South Africa having a wonderful time, we’re helping her towards her final move to Tennessee (to work on a Ph.D) by getting her stuff in moving condition.
One item that won’t make it on the move is “Arnold, Jr.” , named after our California Govenor. He — the green plant — will be the only thing staying with us. This is really not a problem. Far too many parents I have met along life’s path have been saddled with unwanted cats, pups, kittens, dogs, fish and an occasional assortment of grandchildren while their offspring go out and ‘find themselves.’ Hmmmm… a plant is a beautiful thing when it comes alone.
Although, I do miss my girls.
