Andrea, This is one of the best things you have ever written (that I have seen). It is the best definition of maturity I have ever read. As we grow, we tend to cling to what we were and fear jumping off that cliff of who we might become. You are in the process of jumping. It's scary, but it's one of the great adventures of being alive. You will always be the funny, creative, honest woman I knew years ago, but reading this made me proud that I had something to do with that leap of faith.
I look forward to future pieces. And I loved the cow. I had forgotten that artist was one of the things you have always been. Vermont has been a gift for you. Love and warm weather to you, Sr. Rita
Oh Sr. Rita, this really means a lot and you absolutely played a big part of this journey. It took a while to get here but I'm so glad I did.
Also, I really miss going to the theater with you and I've been thinking about how generous it was for you to let me tag along for so many years. I'm so grateful that you took this weird little ragamuffin under your wing and introduced her to culture. 😉 Love you!
Andrea, You made me cry. I think I never missed having children of my own because I have helped to raise so many others... I pray they all grow up to come to adulthood as you did. Love, Sr. Rita 🥰
I can't write anything as sweet and genuine as Rita did, but I find that my relationship to myself has changed a lot in the last five years. I don't know if it's just my age or if it's the lockdowns or a combination but things have shifted and I like getting to know the new me. I hope you like the new you!
