My amazing, bright, beautiful daughter graduates from HS this month. I am beside myself with pride and love! She got into every college she applied to, and has chosen an incredible university, not far from my own college, and even got a small scholarship! She has been my closest companion, my greatest challenge and my greatest joy. She is fierce, strong. Much more than I'll ever be. She is wise and compassionate. I cannot express how much I love her!! Yet, I don't know how to be a mom to a kid that isn't a kid. I don't know what life will be like without her in my daily life. I am terrified for me, but very excited for her! Although she thinks I am a loon when discussing any of these topics, it's OK. One day she'll get it and I won't be the tin foil hat wearing Mom in her head anymore. Goals.
