Letting go

My little girl is 16. That means she now has a driver's license. And that means she wants to drive. But not just around town anymore. Nope, she wants to drive to towns that have designated lanes and stop lights and TRAFFIC. And the worst part is....she doesn't want me to go with her! Some of you are probably thinking that I'm overreacting and you're probably right. But this is my baby and she doesn't like to drive. I still drive her to school most days! So it is a HUGE step for her to want to take a friend and go to a mini-city. I'm going to let her go but I think I'll probably drive to the city too. I need to run some errands and buy some groceries, and on the off-chance she needs me, I'll be close by.
