Today I gave my baby her graduation present from me. When I was a young one, 16 or 17, my friend Jane gave me; "The Little Prince" . She quoted lots from it and spoke to me of taming and lonliness. When I graduated highschool I was given the only 2 things I wanted, a rose necklace with dimonds, "fake" around it, used to be my great Aunt's, and a bus trip away from where I grew up and never went back. I gave my daughter a copy of "The little Prince" and the necklace. She was very touched. Happy time. Bittersweet. Thanks again everyone.
