Empty Nest

Zelda moved out a couple of days early.

Am I terrible mother because I'm happy?

I'm more than happy. I'm proud of her. She has a lovely apartment, a new promotion, she's successful, and relatively well adjusted for a 22 year-old. I feel like what I have devoted 25 years to is accomplished and I did a pretty darn good job. I'm not good at a lot of things but I feel like I was a good mother and since that was what was most important to me, that matters a lot.

I want to take a victory lap and get a gold watch.
