I think that I realized that I was an adult on the day that my husband asked my Dad for my hand in marriage. We were twenty four years old and after he asked my father, my Dad called me into the room and just from the look on his face I knew that I had gone on to a place that he seemed a little more distant to. We have been married for almost twenty five years and my Dad was never far from my daily thoughts, but his look on that particular day made me realize where I was in my life.
