I just watched the season finale of David Tennant's Dr. series. I think the very last line he said was remarkably accurate. He said "I don't want to go" right before he was reborn. If this told me anything it was that even with his infinite knowledge, even with the ability to travel the stars, inside every doctor, and inside every person is a scared little child reaching out for some comfort and love, some stability. Even though your Who is off exploring, you can still be his Rose, Martha, Donna. And I'm sure he'll want to share his discoveries with you.
Awww, I'm tearing up again! Mr. 18 drove back down to NM Tech last night to start another semester of astrophysics, and I'm not able to get back to school this time as I can't afford it. But I will keep reading about the universe so that I can say smart things when he calls. The letting go was a bit easier this time, but I still required a few tissues. My youngest turns 16 in a couple of weeks, and he's excited about learning to drive. I will have new struggles when he's ready for college, but he's more Pirate than Time Traveler. So many adventures we get to have in one lifetime! So many!
