Your dress on the rug,
And you in my bed,
Sweet present of the present,
Cool of night,
Warmth of my life.”

—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“Face your own ambivalence about letting go and you will be better able to help you children cope with their own feelings. The insight you gain through your own acceptance of change will bolster your confidence and make you a stronger college parent. The confidence you develop will be evident to your child, who will be able to move away from you without fear.”
—Norman Goddam (20th century)
