MY GIFT...MY DAUGHTER

My precious 20 year old daughter, who is probably responsible for 80% of my grey
hairs, walked in today with a trophy..."PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR" from the Hotel school through which she's studying. Its pretty much a trophy in recognition of the person who she is and who she has been all her life...the independant, spirited soul that is ........and has always been, my beautiful gift from God.

As a baby of six months old, she insisted on feeding herself, as a little girl of 4, she flatly refused to wear corduroys, as a teenager of 13, was the noise and life our home...often getting into lots of mishchief and into the resulting trouble, as an older teen, said her say nomatter the anger it caused, and now as a young woman, with all my heart, I celebrate the person that is my daughter...and every grey hair on my head!! How I love her and nomatter where her life journey leads her, I know she has been created perfectly...just as she is.
