Just then I saw a mature, capable young woman with a  28  mind and the ability to shape her future. She no longer needed her mother  29  every decision she made. I felt proud, though still a bit  30  .

There have been a few holes along the way.  33  , she is well-equipped and eager to  34  the future. The next step, I recognized, was mine to take: giving my daughter and myself the  35  we both needed.
