Daily Prompt: What’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult? 8/17/26
John 3:16 – Be thankful, grateful, patient, charitable, kind, and smile, as it is infectious. God Bless America; protect our president and Military!
Many will say when they bought their first car, got an apartment, got that first real job etc…
For me the year was 1975 when my girlfriend and I in many quiet conversations decided we wanted to spend our lives together. I remember asking her father beforehand of my intent to ask her to be my wife on her birthday that year.
Her father gave his full approval and a short time before her 19th birthday we took the train downtown. We went to Jewelers Row and settled on Sydney Rosen Jewelers so she could pick out her ring. We got engaged that year and started the planning, saving, collecting items for our future wedding. A story for another day!
So, what’s your story of feeling you were finally an adult?
