July 20,2026, Monday evening, 5:16pm, pacific standard time, gym at office complex, Costa Mesa, California, USA. My daughter passed her drivers test this morning. She is an official California driver. We spent the last six months preparing for today. I am happy for her and a little nostalgic. She has her freedom, which means she doesn’t need me to drive her to appointments or engagements. I wasn’t prepared for this milestone. I thought graduating high school or turning 18 would be the biggest milestones. Rather, it is her getting her drivers license that changes life the most.
