I was not expecting my 18 year old daughter to come home from her summer job
(as a camp counselor) with a new friend.
At first glance, he resembles a monkey, however, he roars like a lion, and his name is Fish.
And, apparently, he has THREE hearts.
Brought to life at Build-A-Bear, he is part monkey, part lion, part sea animal, and,
apparently, part super hero.
Why should this surprise me?
It shouldn't.
It doesn't.
This is my Haley.
My daughter, whom I have known since the very first day she was born.
My daughter, who marches to her own beat and stays true to who she is.
My daughter, who, at one time, had not one, but TWO imaginary friends,
Thumbelina and Dumbelina,
and, she would get quite cross with me if I confused them.
Well, last week, I dropped my daughter and Fish off at college.
I hope Fish takes good care of her.
But, then, there is so much of Haley in him.
So . . . . . .
I think they are going to be okay.
