Yesterday, Briana got her permit, and I was so relieved. Now she can learn to drive and begin some independence. I am excited for her freedom, yet, I am very sad. This is the beginning of the end. Soon, Beanie will be going places without me; she will be working and planning and gathering the world from a perspective other than mine. I want all this for her - - but I haven't had enough time with her. She is a joy! She is respectful, thoughtful, intelligent, not very observant, happy, uncertain and sure - - A typical teenager? Not so much. I think she likes us. Why would anyone like us? Don is focused on boats and his cats, and I fret over my students and the laundry. We are a bit old-fashioned, and we don't do anything fun. Still, she likes us. Weird.
