18

My baby girl turned 18! 

Eighteen years of growing and learning together. We are similar in some ways and very different in others. Being Jentry's mother has forced me to become more patient, selfless, listen better and has certainly humbled me. God knew I needed her and I'm so grateful I get to be her mom.

Jentry has wanted to be 18 for about a decade now and she is more than capable of taking care of her adult self. I will of course be there for her no matter what but I consider this a huge parenting success.

She will move to Arizona in a few short weeks and I will miss her terribly.  BUT...I am also so excited to see her navigate her next chapter, which I am sure will bring much joy.
