I knew this day would come
But as a father, it's something you try not to think about, for several reasons. One reason is that it verifies that time does "fly", and I find myself questioning where all the time went. Another, is that daddy's little princess is older, and will soon be finding her way through life. Although I'm excited, thinking about all the years gone by has left me with mixed emotions. Happy that she achieved a goal in getting her learners permit to drive. And sad, she will soon be leaving the nest to pursue her own life. Yes, that's me being selfish.
I have been blessed to watch her grow into a beautiful young women, and it helps to know that she is a very intelligent, empathetic, and loving person. And I'm certain she will be a productive person, and an asset to her chosen profession.
So, to celebrate this achievement, I'm posting this for all to see. And remind fellow parents, they all grow up!
