My friend Debb - I applaud your courage to allow her to 'do her thing'.....Kudos to her for getting to a stable place and holding a job and venturing out on her own!
This all sounds like such a great change for both! Yay for maturing, balancing, loving and independence!
I've been playing ball for 1/2 the day and then off to a family wedding.....grateful to be home - the party continues, but I did 'my time'. I love my family dearly but am super grateful to have this one to 'come home to'.
Many (((Hugs))) for you and your daughter - may her first place be all that she wants it to be!
Hang in there mom - seeing them go is a relief (privacy) but I always had a bit of sadness too.....change at times can be hard for me! So grateful this program reminds me to stay grounded in this day - not the past nor the future...

Debb, I love your posts and sometimes forget that you are dealing with the same stuff the rest of us are but you are doing it with such grace and understanding and strength that I am in awe. Your post is giving me strength right now as we await the arrival of our son, his partner and the baby. They will be staying with us while he seeks a job and gets re-established in this country. And I know it is going to be not so easy for any of us. Reading your post I can see that other people were in the same position and they came through it and so will we.
And the bathroom thing! I can so understand that. Right now we have two bathrooms and two people. Soon there will be five!
I am trying hard to live in the day and not project what 'might' happen. Today is our Canadian Thanksgiving and we DO have lots to be thankful for and we need to stress our gratefulness. Thanks for the strength and understanding you contribute every day on this board.
