Our daughter chose the family estate for her thirteenth birthday.
Her choice surprised everyone.
“Sure?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Pool.”
Teenagers are efficient.
No symbolic reclaiming.
She wanted the pool.
Party happened outdoors.
Friends.
Music.
Pizza.
Her grandmother attended for one hour.
Brought a gift.
Asked before hugging.
Left before evening.
No one mentioned the porch.
That was healing too.
