New York City, in sun and sweet rain
Sunday, September 27, 2009
We met our boy for a weekend in New York City. He is tall, upright, happy. Taller, perhaps, than he was just a month ago, when we dropped him off at college for his sophomore year, and he is happier than, well, ever?
Where, I wondered, does such happiness come from, and how might it be kept near? Beside him, I walked Broadway in the tinseled dark. Beside him I laughed out loud for no good reason. You made me a mother, I kept thinking, as I watched him. No one else, but you.

What college does your son attend?
What a lovely post, and what a lovely picture.
What a fun weekend! Our children are so different once they go off to college - but in a good way.
Beautiful! Keeping happiness near is something we must all strive to do. It takes effort, but it is a smiling quest.
"You made me a mother, I kept thinking...No one else, but you."
Beautiful. As a fellow mother of an only son, I've had similar thoughts. Glad you enjoyed your weekend with your boy!
"You made me a mother, I kept thinking...No one else, but you." I have two sons and each has made me a different kind of mother. Love this.
Very cool photo for a very cool night.
