Addie moves in

I haven't lived with my daughter Addie for 18 years. I've tried to stay in touch as best as I could given my own turmoil and the turbulence in this river of life. She has mostly lived 260 miles away for the past 16 years and I've seen her once or twice a month with some extended "visits" at some holidays. This past 5 years it's slowed down as she has become more independent. I suppose it is a testimony to our "success" at fostering a relationship that yesterday she moved in for a 10 month stint...wow!!
I'm really glad she found this puzzle piece and fit it together with her second year in college and exploration of southeast Michigan and herself in her 20th year. First on our agenda: getting to know each other alot better. Second and simultaneously, cooperation in a household and fatherly wisdom.
