Yesterday was another milestone in Caroline\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We moved her to her new apartment on the upper west side of Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a great situation for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her land lady is our kind of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are doggies to pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has a room behind a secret door. Yes, it is that cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has her own bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is just the kind of situation that, I think, will give her a safe space to move on to her next adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caroline pointed out that this is only the second address she has lived as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know she is going to do great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is taking a couple of days to orient herself to where she is living then she starts orientation for FIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter and I have worked hard over the years to give her the tools she needs for this jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our baby bird is spreading her wings and getting ready to fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Itt isn\u2019t like we will not being seeing her. She is planning to come home for a couple of days this week for some things she needs to get done here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it is not where she lives anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To say I have mixed feeling feels like I am underplaying things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a big step for both Peter and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Peter, it is the first time forty years that there are no children in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me it is only twenty-four years but that is still a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Caroline, I swear I just brought her home the other day or she just started kindergarten or middle school or high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intellectually I know eighteen years and nine months have passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But emotionally, I am working through a whole bunch of feelings as it Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am very proud of her and I hope I have given her the tools to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am grateful that we got Caroline onto her next adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
