Yes, things change as life moves on. Maybe you won't be able to carry her to bed at some point, but you'll still be able to put your arm around her shoulders and guide her there through a sleepy haze. Her life may become fuller of other people and things, but she'll always need you.
Interesting thoughts Dan. I will always be close to my son but the relationship changes as they grow up, developing interests that aren't necessarily yours. They make friends...you become a little less part of their world. I found the dynamics of the family changed greatly when they learn to drive and have their license. It didn't change in a negative way though. Assuming that driving responsibility is part of maturing, you also see them less and less......and less......then it's off to college!!

Soccer. At the park. That’s all I have to say about knee problems. ;)
