go, making a tough choice at the time, but with the relative commitment well thought out. Best thing I ever did, she kept me young, I swear! She's brought me so much fun and enjoyment, best thing I ever did. It was mainly for her that I decided to move us to Europe, to get her away from the toxicity of the US education system. We had traveled Europe when she was 10 and she never stopped talking about it. The schools here are just so much better, and the lifestyle. She just moved back to LA in September though, wanting to know it as an adult, and she is really doing awesome!

She's a good person too... extremely funny, literate, sweet, sensitive and determined. People love being around her and she always proves her worth. I'm a lucky momma....
