Adulting Begins In December

birthday... she’s all grown up, with the weight of the world, now on her shoulders — like Atlas. stupendous the thought, of freedom to do, everything you wanted to do. sun and the moon sporting smile, for it’s your birthday

In a divorced family parties can be elusive but I had a nice dinner with her and her sister and mom. She is my first grandchild. Oh how I love her.

Oh, yes, there are definitely two sides to coming of age. You DO have more freedom--and more responsibilities! WELL-DONE, Kim! Janice

I like the way you've made a gerund out of "adult". Clever. Also alluding to Atlas fits nicely with your granddaughters new weight on HER shoulders. Many thanks, dear lady, for stopping by. Always appreciated. Good result in the contest. / M
