[dar-list] The One Who Knows

[Deana]

I will always remember dancing and listening to The One Who Knows with my
daughter at the John Anson Ford Theatre in Hollywood -- near the Hollywood
Bowl but so intimate and small--the other side of the freeway. We were under
the stars and my daughter was growing up and that song still touches me since
I have two children--22 now and 17. There were most definitely tears of joy
and recognition as we sang along.  I don't know if I've always been able to
just cheer them on, but that is my hope and intention as a mom. My daughter
has been on the other side of the world these past few years.....and I know
where the moon is shining on her.....and it's as far from home as you can get.
It did all go by so fast.....and you don't know it will until it does. She is
a gift to me. My son will soon be out there too.....so I am enjoying all the
time that I can with him this last year of high school. And love does go as
far as we want it too....beyond this lifetime....to the other side of the
world.....and just down the hallway to our childrens' rooms. Cherish the
time.....even when called upon to chauffeur late at night to faraway events or
to pick someone up for various reasons in the early morning hours.....or to
toss and turn and hurt with worry. I wonder how Dar will feel about her song
as her son does come of age and heads "out there." You don't know until you
are part of it.
