22. Both of my daughters have thanked us for letting them choose and find their own path

It never occurred to us to do anything else.

The younger one, when she was an undergrad in the States, wanted to take a semester at the Sorbonne in Paris. We said fine. Her university sent us forms asking us to confirm that we thought she had the necessary responsibility and maturity to spend a semester in Europe.

I responded that since she was born and grew up in Europe, that we were confident that she had the necessary responsibility and maturity to return for a semester.

They apologized for not looking more closely at her personal info before sending out their form letter!
