parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. they move on. they move away. the moments that used to define them - a mother's approval, a father's nod - are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. it is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their live.
