Hettie cow was waiting for me in tears, at the pond!

I was so touched by her comradery. She said, this is just like the day my baby was sold off the farm. I said, not really, Hettie, but tell me about it anyway. She turned her back to me, to wipe her tears. It is a real part of the cow culture not to cry, unless the person they are counseling is crying. She saw I was okay, so she wiped her tears and turned to me with a clear and sunny disposition.

I didn't mean to impose my imagination into your college season. The geese have been warning everyone about "Mommy's letting go season". Everybody knows how completely connected you are with your children. They are trying to comfort you. I, for one am glad to know that you are doing well about this process. Don't worry, if you cry. Mommy's all cry at these seasons.

Thank you, Hettie. I appreciate your consideration and empathetic tears. I will talk to you again, when we get home.
