Well ... it's been a long time coming, at least as far as she's concerned, but as of today (posted just a few minutes early!) ... 3 Nov 07, all three of my kids are ADULTS!  I don't know if it's a trait peculiar to "babies," but she has been in an extraodinary hurry to "grow up" most of her life. At long last, she is 18.  I only wish I could celebrate with her in person, but that will happen at Thanksgiving! 

  I miss you, darlin, but oh how I love you!!!
