A daughter is like a flower
She brings beauty into the world
Once upon a time, in a hospital not very far from here, our first child was born. She was a shining jewel, and the world recognized it. The heavens parted, the sun shone down, and there was peace on earth.
And then you started to cry, demanding even more attention. In hindsight, we’re not sure if you were crying because of the trauma of birth, or the fact that you didn’t have a purse yet.
Words fail when trying to capture the essence of our love for you, or to truly express how incredibly proud of you that we are. During the daily travails of life, we don’t make enough time to express all of our feelings for you, to communicate how deeply we care about you.
I am very proud of you and all that you have accomplished. I know that you have worked very hard in school and your grades reflect all of your efforts. But, in 20 years, what you are going to remember is all of the friends that you have made and the good times that you have had with them. The people around us are a reflection of ourselves, and your reflection is impressive indeed.
So, go forth and take the world by storm, knowing that we will always be here for you, supporting you and loving you.
Love,
Daddy
PS – I’ll make sure the young one moves back into her room before you come back for Thanksgiving.
PSS – I’ll also promise not to sell any of your purses on e-bay while you’re gone.
