puppetmaker | Caroline came home for the weekend

And it has been very nice.

We have a plan for today. Now to execute it.

I made her pancakes this morning for breakfast. It is one of her favorites.

This evening it will be steak and bake potato, another favorite.

I have noticed that we go through milk a lot quicker when she is around.

I really don’t care.

She is thriving at FIT. She is working hard on her classes.

She made friends and keeps in touch with her friends here at home.

She is having adventures that I had no part in creating.

She loves her apartment, her roommate, and the doggies.

She also enjoys coming home and being taken care of a bit by her mommy.

It’s nice to reconnect with her and hear about her life in the city.

She realizes that she has the good luck to living in New York City and go to the Fashion School of Technology. It’s her dream school and the dreams are living up to her expectations.

I feel good that I gave her the tools over the years that she can survive in the big city. In some ways, to me, it justifies my abilities as a mother.

We do talk by phone and Facetime but having her here where I can hug her is so nice.

I am grateful for the young adult my daughter has grown into.
