This is a little - OK, way - late...
My (eldest) baby girl graduated from the University of Southern California this week. She didn't have the opportunity to walk across the stage because she is currently in Seattle pursuing her dream playing professional soccer.
To say I'm proud of her would be a massive understatement. She has exceeded my dreams and expectations in becoming the young woman she is. Her faith in Christ is most important to her and she has a compassionate heart toward those around her.
At times I have parented out of fear. No longer. I trust God's presence and plan for her.
C, I can't wait to see all the future holds for you!
An aside: As I'm writing this, Pirates of the Caribbean is on the TV. The theme music is deeply emotional to me. It was the music to my younger daughter's floor routine as a competitive gymnast. I guess it's just an afternoon for nostalgia.
For now...
