It's easy to become dependent on someone or a way of life. I have lived with my daughter and granddaughter for the past 12 years. Well actually I've lived with my daughter for the past thirty years, but with her daughter for 11 of those years after separating from my wife.After meeting a lovely man and falling in love, as we do, my daughter decided to move in with him share her life and home with this person.Now whilst being happy for her in her new life and as I sit here preparing to help with the move, I find I have very mixed emotions.The part of me that wishes her well and the hopes I have for her my granddaughter and their future. The new and exciting journey they are about to take makes me fill with love for my little girls.Another part of me will miss them terribly, I wonder how i will cope, will I be lonely, will I will i. This I know is human nature or our bombu nature. It still sadens me that self plays that big a part In my life today.I try to control my clinging and it's my Buddhist faith I know that will help me in this time of change in our impermanent world.Namo Amida Bu
