Projecting: A conversation with Jane Doe

Hey Jane, What's up? Where is Lucky, your sweet little fawn? 

 

 Wow, he's off to school already.   I know.. it just seems like yesterday he was a polka dotted new baby deer.   You're right... it is kind of quiet around the hills these days without the babies running around chasing each other.  I know, they grow up so fast. Do you find that you even miss the bickering?  

No, no, Jane don't get upset,  Lucky still needs you.   You're his mom!  You never stop needing your mom, no matter how old you get.   Just think of all the time you will have to get things done and remember your  "someday list"!  Finally, you can work on all the stuff that has been on your list for years and get your house organized.   Maybe even indulge in a little free time of lounging around and reading.   You deserve it, you've been raising babies forever and now it's your time.  I know!  It still feels weird to be alone... but you're going to be okay, I'll always be here for you if you need to listen.   

 After all, we're friends... right?
