My daughter has recently passed her driving test. Sunday just gone I heard, "see you later mum, I'm off to work". All of a sudden I felt rather redundant. Where was the little girl that needed a personal chauffeur? I've been known to grumble "can't wait for you to start driving", but did I really mean it?
We always consider the milestones our children go through, but I think we should spare a thought for the parents. Redundancy creeps up on us slowly.
We wait for the first smile, tooth, word and steps. Before you realise, it's their first day at school; and on it goes, until they pick up those keys and shout "see you later mum!"
