Nanette's introduction
Hi all, It's interesting reading all of the introductions posted so far and thinking that as you all make a big leap in your lives, I'm revisiting just that leap this weekend. I'm going to my 30th year high school reunion. I'm going to see the faces, with 30 years of wear and tear, that used to be my whole world: my first best friend, my first arch-rival, my first boyfriend (and my second, and my third, and my ...) Lots of them have kids, like I do, just your age: off to college, facing forward, sneaking looks back.
My visual: the way my mother would look when I came home from college -- her whole face would expand, eyes wide, smile wide when I walked through the door and she would be giddy, like a kid with a new crush, just to have me back for a few days. She never, except once, ever asked me to stay longer -- she would have considered it unnatural. She didn't call or write when I was away -- it took me years to realize what an act of restrait it was for her not to "interfere" with my growing up and away.
Can't think of a verbal thing right now (oh yeah! I'm supposed to be the language prof and Ellen, she's the visual one!) so I'll edit later.
Won't be speechless when we meet! Can't wait!
