A

I’m not kind of mother who normally brushes her daughter’s hair, and my daughter has never like sitting there, waiting for me to do it.

But today, I’ve sat my daughter Sally on a kitchen chair. She’s sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower, and her longhair behind her back. I realize she is enjoying the moment. It’s the last time for a week that our bodies will connect. Today,I’m sending Sally away for a week of summer camp. This was all my idea. She’s nearly 12，and I noticed that I’m with my child nearly 24 hours a day.

Living on a farm without any neighbors, I’ve chosen a life that is quieter than a normal family’s. But rather than expecting space away from me, Sally has become increasingly dependent. What frightens me most is t hat she has become a “mini-me”, even has the same hobbies, dreams, and opinions as me. That’s why I pulled her the summer camp: a nearby wilderness(荒野) camp called Hawk Circle.

After eating, I drive Sally to Hawk Circle. Once there, we are introduced to her fellow

to join a game of soccer. “I need you for a few more minutes,” she tells me. I pull her away to walk to one of the camp’s workers.”Excuse me.”I say loudly, “I’d like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.” He comes over talk to Sally, and the I disappear before she realizes it.

It is a hard time for me to drive back. When I arrive home, I calm down and remind myself
