Crossing Over

This afternoon our girl and her husband made it over the border, leaping the final hurtle on their journey to his homeland in Wisconsin.

She's following her heart, which is a good thing, and my grandbaby will be close to her other grandparents, which is a good thing, and it's just the United States, barely a foreign country,

There was a brief moment earlier this evening, when I had an image of her in the "Stardust" movie, walking through the gap in the wall, disappearing in the leafy, green darkness of the woods.

I know it won't be much different from when they were over the mountains; Skype and the Internet will be the same...

But tonight she feels kind of far away.
