Christine, thanks for always being able to articulate how I'm feeling. Just had an extremely tough time watching Alyssa drive away in my car as a first-time car owner. I want to protect her as I always have, but now I must trust her and all those around her. This will get easier with time, I'm sure. But right now, it's difficult and reading your story is helping me to realize that everything will be okay.

Whether it's an apartment or a car, it is truly amazing to compare where we were to where our kids are. Dad would be proud of us.

I love this. One of my favorite, early memories of the very first place I live that wasn’t my parents home or a dorm (an old, old house shared between five roommates) was learning this lifelong lesson: no, you can’t just use dish soap in place of dishwasher detergent. 🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧
