Touching writing, MC. I've only felt it from the opposite end, being the waved-to.

solovale,,,
I guess i have been made "redundant", but this time, in a happy way. I have to let her fly, and find her own way in life. A double loss, but one did not make it broke his wings, and crashed, well that is another story.

Great
I like the full circle effect the story has as a whole,as if daughters may have the same experiences some day with thier children.Plus the warming childhood christmas imagery and the bitter sweet farewell to that daughter now grown starting her own life ...just great stuff

As a mother who waved good-bye to her daughter a few years back (a departure into a life of independance with her new "man"), I was touched by this prose. The first image of a young girl dancing around the the tinsel was enchanting.

This is lovely and sad at the end perhaps, but overall I think it's happy.
After all, the outcome is a good one, and a lot of that is down to you, MC. You have reason to be proud! Also, I noticed the care with which the poem seems to have been written, the length of the lines, the contrast between part one and part two. All good stuff.

isn't it wonderful to see a daughter launched into her future.. I share your thoughts and feelings in this, all we can ask is that they be happy and that they care for one another.
