Daughter popped in to inform me she's staying in town w her friends after school, bc they're going to the theater. Farenheit 451..
I made sure she had charger, bus pass, reminded her to eat something and promised to save some dinner. Wished her a good time. "I will" and she swooshed out the door like a medium sized autumn storm, leaves dancing in her wake.
Sometimes you have to acknowledge the monsters are turning out rather well. And yes, they're loved.
