Lori! You'll pick just right on what to do.
Just remember that the kids today are part of the technology generation.....they can talk, twitter, text, sky dive....oops anything anywhere. I'm just betting that your 16 year old, while she needs you day to day, most of all needs you to fight to be there for a very long time! I'm betting she will be supportive of you whichever you choose to do! Remember, she's your daughter!!!
Wishing you many hours of peace over the next few days!
With love, ma
