Odd that I'd experience nostalgia at something like this, but it's been so long that I'd almost forgotten how wonderful short bus rides can be with the right company.
I took the bus back with my Eldest, and discussed briefly religion, politics and her future education; one of those father-daughter things. I truly was proud and happy to see her earne her leadership position, but now I truly get the sense that my young Padawan has grown up.
It really moved something in me when she said she'd look for me the next time she had a question. Earlier in the evening, my younger Padawan (finally almost an SP) had announced loudly to some of the newer members than I was his mentor.
I thought my days of mentoring them were over when everyone in my little unit was reassigned, but it looks like God may have other ideas after all.
I feel an odd blend of age, satisfaction and excitement I cannot quite explain.
