“occasional bone-headed choices and opinions notwithstanding…she is ready” - yessss. We’re sending a daughter off to college this fall too. She is my second to launch, but I have been telling younger parents a version of this when they ask me what it’s like…only you crafted it so much better. These years have been some of my most rewarding parenting experiences thus far. And I second the magic of ages 8-12. I have a 10-year-old boy who is pure imagination & joy.
Oh, and my husband cracked me up a few days ago, when I apologized for not listening to more of the podcast he hosts on parish evangelization. His reply was, “It’s ok, I know I can’t compete with Tsh Oxenreider.”😊
