somehow it happens

Ok, here's my position. If my daughter needs to be here for another year, let's make the most of it. What does she need from me, what can I help her with, and how can we enjoy this time together?

The stronger I hold this place, the more she steps up to it. The more sweetness I see and the more fun we have.

Don't know if it was just the timing of mh being away last weekend, but she really stepped up and included me in things. It was my birthday, and she took me out to dinner in this sweet, new-grown-up kind of way.

And when I told her her boyfriend could sleep over the other night, she listened to my concerns and responded in a respectful way.

So we will find our way. She is growing up, and that can actually lead to good things, however it happens!
