Yesterday, Offspring the First reached the age of majority. She is delighted; Herself and Herself's Beloved are quite verklempt. Where did their baby go? It seems just yesterday that they lined up her first pair of shoes with theirs.
She has grown into a lovely, kind-hearted, witty young lady. So much life ahead of her, so many wonderful possibilities. She is making her plans to go away to college next year. We are already bereft at the thought of her absence from our daily lives.
Godspeed, child. You are an adult in the eyes of the law, but your journey is truly only just beginning. We will be here, to walk with you when you need company, to catch you when you fall, and to cheer when you soar.
