So true. Just moved my baby to her own apartment to start law school. She was only born a year or two ago. Well done. Lee

To be fair there's a good chunk of empathy going in that one, mine are all still at home, but they are growing fast

So they flew the nest on a charted quest to try the test and do what's best. Isn't it great how they surprise us. Eventually they do come into their own!
