It’s amazing! My daughter just turned 18. It’s a weird feeling knowing that legally she is an adult even though for the last few years I have thought of her as an adult. It is an exciting and sad time for me. I’m excited to see what she does with her future because I know whatever it is, she’ll be a success. But it’s sad because I know it won’t be long before she will be moving away to be on her own. And while I will be proud of her and help her any way that I can, it will make me very sad not having her around all of the time.
Even though there have been various men in my life over the last several years, she has been my one constant. She has been my best friend and my one happy thought for so long. I love her and am so very proud of the adult that she has become.
I don’t care what anyone says about the way I raised her, nobody can ever say that she’s a bad person. I know that my way of raising her was never the same as anyone else’s but it worked for us and she is a strong independent woman because of it. I hope she knows that she was always loved. Happy Birthday Honey! May your future be as amazing as you are! I love you!
