We have a line of severe storms headed our way and we’ve been warned that supercells will be here between 3-5 A.M. along with the possibility of a tornado. After last Easter’s tornado touched down less than a mile away, I’m a little gun shy. I’m sleeping in my clothes and shoes tonight and making sure lamps are available and everything is charged. I sure hope it turns out to be nothing.

My daughter is graduating from college in May and is working a lucrative internship right now. She’ll be making her home in the town where she goes to college. As she makes this transition, I find myself with a sense of pride definitely but also of loss. It’s really bothering me. What is wrong with me?

I’m doing fairly well all things considered except for the grief thing. I know....I’m weird.
