Happy Birthday to her.
I know exactly what you mean. I’m struggling with my own daughter’s growing up too.

Oh, I know. It’s brutal.
I’m not ready let my girl grow up — and how did this happen just overnight? — but I also want her to be free and functional when she hits the world… The struggle is real!

We’re in it together. It was hard enough when my 22 year old decided to stay in IL when we moved south. Not sure I can handle losing another daughter.

Ah you won’t lose her: you are close to each other and that won’t change. You seem to have an excellent relationship with her and that’s good. It means she knows she can call you when she needs you no matter how far apart you are physically.

Congratulations. 16 is a sweet age, and she has many more milestone birthdays to come: 18, 21 … (gasp) 30. My wife and I just spent time wit our daughgter (now 39!) alone at her houseboat on a sunny Saturday afternoon. She still laughs like she’s 16 and that makes us smile.
