ADMIN PASSWORD: Remember Me

Ondine
She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back. She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back. She can take the dark out of the nighttime And paint the daytime black. --Bob Dylan

My daughter Angela is turning 18 in October. She is conflicted because a big part of her doesn't want to ever grow up. We have that in common.

I spoke to Master Armen, seeking advice. He has two daughters--the oldest, Naz,is a year ahead of Angela. He said Naz is going to Glendale College and living at home, because he doesn't want her to leave either. So much for the great wisdom of my master. :D

Angela, her friend Paige, and I went to Claremont Colleges yesterday--walked around to see all the campuses then had lunch. They are all beautiful and it's not too far from home. Students were moving into their dorms. They looked happy and excited. Angela and Paige were checking out the male population: college boys are far more attractive than high school boys. We all liked the Pomona school the best--it looked very Italian and there were lots of trees. We are going to Cal State Northridge next week.

When Angela entered the first grade, I lay on the couch and listened to La Boheme until it was time to pick her up from school.

I just don't know what I am going to do without her sweetness in my life every day. You'd have to know Angela to understand this. She is like mozart. Brilliant, funny, strong, gentle, loving, wise.

How did I get such a daughter?

How do I let her go?
