Spreading Her Wings

My 'Beautiful Young Lady' is spreading her wings.
This week Samantha is making her own way to her orthodontist appointment to have the first of her braces fitted.
She is deliberating which university offer to accept, a huge decision which only she can make and a week today she heads off to Berlin with the college.
Her summer break in California last year was with her Uncle and Aunt though she travelled alone whereas in Berlin she will be accompanied by a few 'like minded' student friends.
September is fast approaching and I will miss my girl.
