“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.” --Sylvia Plath

Now I Know


In less than three weeks I have to go back to school, and even though I will only be in Winona two days out of the week, I dread saying good bye to Evelyn and leaving her overnight. Three hours is probably the longest I have been away from her, and even that was hard. Sometimes I miss her when other people are holding her, and I am still in the same room!

I have yet to tell her that I will be going back to school. She's only six weeks old, so she probably won't understand what I am saying, but telling her will be enough to make me cry, and I don't want her to see me cry. Babies can sense emotions, especially in their mothers.

I always heard people say that the feelings a parent has for a child are indescribable, different than anything else. And I always wondered about that feeling. Now I know.
