Gack! September is a goner! But it produced some lovely things, including this post by Beck. She is, I think, and at risk of offending others whom I like so much, my favorite mommy blog. Almost every post she puts together resonates with my mother heart, the dissonance between holding on and letting go. Mothers never achieve that balance perfectly, do we?
