On Saturday, the younger Roginette will be 18 years old. I shall become, young for my years that I am, the father of two adult daughters, and no longer father to 'children'.
I must confess I will feel a bit emotional about that passing moment. Nostalgia for the end of their childhood years, and for my role as "Daddy" (does that ever end?). Uncertainty about my role as their Dad going forward as they are all grown up and making their own decisions. Not a little bit of fear about what I'm meant to do next when they properly start out on their own. How do I prepare for becoming a father-in-law? A (gulp) Grandfather?
Any advice or memories as always appreciated OTF...
