That particular one was in fact my thoughts at that age. When Shirley and I decided to become Aussie gypsies and travel the roads, we had to "let go" of a LOT. I cannot tell the immense joy and feeling of liberation that comes with that action. Just wonderful!Vic Midyetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953933355681691513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-3784959061806145942016-09-08T06:23:00.871-04:002016-09-08T06:23:00.871-04:00For me the story has many messages on very varied ...For me the story has many messages on very varied subjects.

At any rate, that's part of how I read your story. The main part, though, may have been the kite's lesson about letting go of one's own children?Moristotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211602374384087074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-19061014086068535072016-09-07T08:54:58.703-04:002016-09-07T08:54:58.703-04:00Great little sad/happy story.
