I taught Simon how to ride a two-wheel bike today. All he needed was for me to get him started, and away he went winding through the alleys in our neighborhood. I jogged behind him as a new world began for him. I tried to keep up, but he kept going faster. I watched as my new world unfolded. I'm not needed quite so much. My children's beginnings become my endings. I guess that's the way it's supposed to be.
