The Unofficial Moment We Become An Adult

My friend, Newscoma reflects on becoming an adult:

There are those official moments when you know you’ve been tossed into adultdom and you know it. Illness of a parent or making long-term lifetime commitments are the obvious choices of when we do “Crap, I’m a damned adult. Get me out of here.”

And, her post on the upcoming anniversary of her mother’s death is not to be missed.

As I’ve said lots of time here, I was catapulted into the world of adulthood when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Funny, though, until then, I had no idea I wasn’t and adult.
