Leaving

Oddly, I am a product of both those who sought to find freedom from persecution, as well as those who fought to retain their lands. The very battle of these encounters tears me apart. I suppose, the mothers who hugged their grown children for the last time as those families shipped out of England for New England, must have had their hearts torn apart in the process. I suppose those Native American mother’s first encounters with shiploads of English arriving on their shores, must have had their hearts also ripped apart in knowing their grown children would die fighting to retain life as they had known it. Life is in the unknown.
