Yeah, some of these are fresh in my mind. It's interesting, I don't remember these as a young adult heading out the door either. I was so busy looking ahead, I didn't see the folks watching me go.
Vince - I relate to the car wash story so much. My daughter is 15, and my son is 17, and it feels like everything we do these days is the last time we will do something together. So many little rituals that have built up to make our relationships are being unpicked in preparation for their next steps to college and beyond. It felt like that story came from a place of truth... nice work.
The focus was on the car, not on emotion, and the conversation flowed as we weren’t attached to the task of talking as much as we were to wash the cars.
This is so good.
The car wash makes me dig into my memories to see if I had a similar experience with my parents. Still looking! Enjoyed the stories!
