Late to the party I am, but I love this post, and identify with it so much.
This!

Having Hive with many very good friendships made over the years where I can express these roller-coaster feelings, knowing many are experiencing similar. Letting go, wishing our youth well, going with our blessings and a piece of your heart.

You are not alone. WE are not alone. Gotta keep reminding myself of that...!!!!
Thanks for sharing your musings and photos.
