Silence
For years we’ve got poured into our kids – we drop scratched knees, keep too late to assist with homework, prayed over them at midnight and inspired them in each milestone. After which immediately we discover ourselves within the seat on the stadium and watch how they enter their future.
It’s a unusual mixture of feelings: beautiful pleasure, gratitude, a number of tears and quiet launch.
