30. Letting Go: A Parent’s Struggle with the First Big Step.

---

We spend our lives caring, sharing, and protecting, only to be told that we need to let go for the sake of our children’s emotional and mental development.

But when is the right time? What if I let go too soon? Or not soon enough?

Today was the day I decided to make space for growth and give her that freedom.

I can honestly say, I’m more than worried about my daughter’s safety. This is her first outing that requires her to come home alone, after her usual 6:30 curfew.

She, on the other hand, has taken it all in stride like it’s just any other day. I should be proud that she’s so confident, and I am, but the parent in me is still worried.

I just hope she remembers everything I’ve taught her and makes it home safe.

Oh my god, she made it. I can finally breathe.
