18 years ago my wife and I brought a cute little baby girl home from the hospital, both of us clearly befuddled as to why these competent nurses would let two foolish kids leave with this baby, without any type of directions or manual....
Today, my wife and I dropped off a beautiful 18 year old woman at college after helping her move into her dorm room. This confident young thing has great plans to become an elementary school teacher, and is looking forward to her first foray into living on her own (still with our checkbook however).
The intervening 18 years seem to be a bit of a blur now, but on the whole as I look back on it, it was an experience I would not ever trade. Each phase had it's unique challenges and rewards, and those memories will be among my most treasured.
To all who have survived this journey, I commend you. Cheers to that journey, and to the new ones commencing.
