My daughter has a girlfriend. Thank God.

FINALLY? She’s 15. You sound like she’s 25.
Don’t get too invested in the “exceptional” connection because it could make it more difficult for her to break up or talk to you about problems, if that’s what ends up happening, for fear of disappointing you.

Yeesh, don't worry, 2 months from now she'll be in the misery of first heartbreak. That's the teenage experience, regardless of orientation.

OP here, which is why I posted about being happy HERE instead of telling her my feelings too specifically. Spoiler Alert: She can feel I am happy for her, which she appreciates.

BTW: so many of you enjoy nothing more than sucking the joy about other people's unalloyed experiences. Or, rather, attempting to. For reasons that clearly have everything to do with yourselves.

Sorry about that.
