Cardboard boxes fill his room.
Sacha checks the list:
Computer,
Bed,
Desk,
Pasta,
Clothes.
He has an apartment. He is enrolled in College. He will be living alone for the first time in his life. He is ready. He is confident. I am proud.
He will come home often, college isn't that far away he says…. it isn't.
Life's lessons are more than what we learn in school, and more than what our parents tried to teach us, and more than the money we have or do not have… `
Life gives you its hand and takes you on a journey that only your heart, mind, soul and body can combine into a neat package calling it- Your life.
And then… Sacha has a washing machine in his apartment, and in some small way that makes me giggle… The lessons he will learn will come when he sees his laundry in a heaping pile on his bedroom floor…. in the end, and in the beginning, it is after all how we manage our well being, our day to day, our happiness, our homework, our clean clothes all at once.
