Today is Thanksgiving Day. Along with all the other things I have in my life for which I can and do give thanks, there's all of you. Those of you whose lives I have been allowed to touch - and whose lives have touched mine. My life would be so much less blessed were it not for all of you. I have much Thanks Giving to do, for all of you. Each and every one. I thank you. I am thankful for you.

"Where go you, Daughter?"
"I go to the woods, Father, and then to the village."
"I will not allow it."
"You cannot prevent it. I go to learn of life and living, love and loving and all the other unseemly things from which you protect me."
She slipped through the door.

Great Escape! Happy Thanksgiving Lou, I'm grateful for you, too!
My word verification is 'nantisms'... heh!
I'm grateful our lives touched. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
May she (and you) flourish!
Brave girl!
This has remained true for centuries, hasn't it? That which we most try to protect our children from they feel compelled to learn themselves.
Good for her! This is really good, Lou.
This reminds me of your Knight's tale. Nicely told.
