<p>She’s happy.</p>

<p>Go take a long walk outside and tell yourself, “I’m a good parent, I’m a good parent” and then get an ice cream cone for lunch.</p>

<p>Life is good. Life is good. Life is good.</p>

<p>Actually, I guess I should say: As of 10:30 last night, as of the 45 minutes we talked, she was happy. I am trying to remember to have no expectations, but it was so good to hear her chatty, gossipy, happy voice.</p>

<p>Yay, Heron. I am so happy for your D and you.</p>

<p>Was it after she had her chat with her BF?</p>

<p>My post should have come after Heron’s last email. CC behaves strangely sometimes.</p>

<p>Yes!</p>

<p>:) .</p>

<p>Yeah! I’m happy for all of you.</p>

<p>Great news. Now relax and enjoy being the mom of a college student. This is really an exciting time for parents, we get to watch our kids blaze their own paths and flourish.</p>

<p>Wonderful…hope you will hold fast as the ups-and-downs smooth out.</p>

13

<p>Here’s hoping that the happiness gains momentum!!</p>

<p>wonderful!!</p>

<p>That’s great! Of course, she will have some not-so-happy moments and days in the future, but that’s OK because that’s life, no matter where she is.</p>

<p>I hope she is feeling really good about herself for having the strength and courage to do something that was difficult for her – and I hope you are feeling good about yourself for the same reasons.</p>

<p>That is great news. Deep beath, baby steps, she is making the change.</p>

<p>I am SO glad. Great job, mom.</p>
