August 5,2026, Wednesday morning, 2:53am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Yesterday after work I stopped by Aliso to see my daughter. We ordered Panera for the family, picked it up, then headed to Dana Point for her to drop me off and take the car. When I unpacked my belongings she headed off on her first solo drive. That moment was indelible. Seeing her taste a new level of freedom and set out on her own flipped reality. She no longer needs me to explore the world. Maybe I am being dramatic but it certainly felt like a massive moment for both of us.
Massive moment
