My daughter is growing up

She is studying to get her drives license and she now has a job and not one of those jobs where she has to work herself silly for very low pay like she has had in the past. This is good paying job with real decision-making responsibilities. She is asserting her Independence and getting paid well for it.

We can never go back.

Things will never be the same and most importantly, I know that this is just the first step. The first step to the rest of her life. Not our life but her life.

And..

yet...

Somehow...

I'm ok with that.

I don'tknow, I guess I expected to feel different somehow, maybe like I had lost something.

But I don't. I feel like I have gained something.

She has plans for her future and is taking the steps to get there. She has reached a certain level of maturity and I didn't see it coming. Does that mean I did something wrong or maybe I did something right?
