BARUKAFARA



Google said: "Your search - barukafara - did not match any image results."

Of course it wouldn't because it was a word my baby girl made up. She knew her letters long before she knew her words, but she still managed to arrange them in very interesting ways.

I'm thinking of this today because our baby moved away to grad school so it's been a bittersweet weekend for us. Goodbyes are never easy.

That's not why I bring up this crazy word, but because we were moving my daughter's stuff out, I ran across a small daily calendar in which I had written the crazy, silly stuff my children said. I picked up this tiny book and I opened it right to the page where I had noted that my daughter had written the word 'barukafara'.

I couldn't find an a google image for barukafara... so I chose a sparkling cube.

Bittersweet indeed. I so remember this empty nest feeling. You've done your job well mom and now it's time for her to do hers. And she will I've no doubt.

Have a fabulous day. ☺

Ouch, bittersweet is right. I will probably be a mess when my firstborn goes off to college.

And that pic is quite barukafaralicious.

"barukafara". Good word. Not even the Kabaragoya kid can spell it! Good luck to your daughter in her next chapter.
