Darling daughter

Moving in day at first dorm at NYU Aug 09

How was I able to leave my baby girl alone in NYC?

Right after this shot, I hugged her goodbye,

 and while weeping...loudly.....I dragged

 two massive empty suitcases down 25 city blocks

back to my hotel 

We moved bedding, pots and pans, dishes,

everything she needed in those suitcases I brought,

and her clothes etc in her own bags

It all goes/went so fast

But look at her now

Completed her courses with honors,

a semester early last December,

but "walking" with her friends from Tisch this Spring

She'll be staying in NYC

She is a New Yorker now,

and I don't blame her

Strong, independent, so loving and kind

an amazing woman

Talented Director and Artist
