My darling daughter is having a Bat Mitzvah in less than three weeks and everyone is wildly excited about it, except her! My friends think this is normal, and it probably is, but it makes me feel downright foolish. I’m looking forward to seeing friends and family, sharing a milestone in our families life. Daughter is interested in it being over. I had an adult Bat Mitzvah so it isn’t really a fair comparison because I definitely chose my path, though I mostly feel like the path chose me.
Well, it was wonderful and nothing much went wrong, except the usual… delayed flights, I came down with a cold and missed the evening party… but it was great and worth all the work. Right now I know she did it just for me but hopefully someday it might have more meaning.
