But I’m not ready for my adult life!
Posted on | March 16, 2012 | No Comments
Cara and Michael, as my lovely cousin and the wonderful guy I went through high school with, you two will appreciate this. Last night I dreamt my father parked his van on the lawn of Carl Schurz High School while I was riding with him. I was so embarrassed, as kids with their parents would be, but then he started speaking Russian to the teachers and everything seemed okay. When I woke up it shocked me to realize high school was not just a few years ago - I dream deeply. It has been 35 years since I/we graduated. A child born the day I graduated, and a child born the day they graduated, would be graduating soon. What happened to all that time? I have so much left to do, the stuff I did was just practice for the adult life I'm still planning. If I live as long as my grandmother, I have 36 years left. If I love as long as my father, I have ten years left. If I live as long as my mother, I have ONE YEAR LEFT. I don't even know how to play a musical instrument yet. I'd better get right on it.
