Metal Meredith

(As the fireworks explode above me)

Vivienne is off and running. She was so excited that she almost giggled herself right out of her skin. She happily skipped to the bus stop, she stood quietly and took it all in and grabbed my hand in a death grip when she saw the bus coming. She hopped right on without a second look and off she went.

No tears from anyone. I am elated and proud and excited for her.
