I could leave them with a smile on my face instead of a twisted tortured look, which i know would haunt them forever. i can say my good bye, kiss each one tenderly, give my last bit of motherly advise, and wish them all a happy life. and tell them that i am beginning my special journey and looking forward to it too. what a wonderful legacy to leave behind, and how romantic. it makes me wish it could happen sooner in some ways, but i am not ready yet.
