It is so weird to have this "hands off" attitude with the kids now. While I realize that they need to get out into the world and have their own successes and make their own mistakes, it is hard to step back and let them. Heather and Theresa are doing rather well. I just need to trust that we gave them all the tools they need to become real members of society. I know that they still have a lot to figure out, and I will always be here to offer advice. But, the ultimate decision is their own. It is interesting to figure out how to support them but not swoop in and rescue them when they run into trouble. It has been easier with Theresa, but we got a little practice run with Heather. At this rate, we will actually know what we are doing when Drew is at this stage in his life. One can only hope............
