I have to bite my tongue when my daughter climbs to the top of the monkey bars. I want her to continue to be brave. I did it when I was young. But, oof, part of me wish she wasn’t doing it. The bigger part is thrilled she is.
I've solo hiked... well, walked really, in places where I probably shouldn't have gone alone. Places with things like rattlesnakes and drop-offs. But on those too cold to walk outdoors days I refuse to walk in my town's mostly empty mall. It's creepy so I skip the walk on those below zero days. I would rather face natural dangers than those presented by humans. So I'll continue to park my car and head up the trail to a place where, the signboard says, I can see an amazingl view.

I feel ya, Jennifer. It's gets even harder to step back as they get older. Even when they are adults.
Oof, I bet. I am not looking forward to seeing how I manage that! 😅
