She’s now living in a big city after graduation and is “blooming,” I guess you could say. My daughter is beautiful but very shy, and I essentially knew she was a virgin through college. My son had a long-term girlfriend in high school, and I came to realize they were having sex, so I just made sure he had the facts about safety. We started talking about sex early, and positively, and consciously kept an open line so they knew they had support if they needed it. I’m a mother of two lovely and happy kids, both in their early 20s.
