She is a truly beautiful girl. Wow!I just wanted to say that being the kind I dad you have been to her is the greatest gift you can give to a daughter. <BR/><BR/>I lost my dad this year, he was my best friend and I am so blessed to have been raised by him and my mom. he truly always encouraged me that I could be whatever I wanted to in life and I took that seriously. I have never let anyone try to stop me from achieving the sucesses in life I wanted. There is just something special about a father/daughter bond.<BR/><BR/>KeeleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-74054027554600969392007-06-15T19:04:00.000-07:002007-06-15T19:04:00.000-07:00Great story & thoughts.

But the best we can do is turn our emotions into art -- with brush, camera, or words -- this is what it's all about. It seems sometimes I can't remember everything I want to be able to remember about when mine were little.....but I think that really sitting down with a pen and paper, as you've done, will help it all find the light again.<BR/>Best of luck to your daughter!

My daughter just ...Rob - I'm right there with you. My daughter just graduated and figured out that she really doesn't know what she wants to do with her life (in possible contrast with your daughter). She has taken a few college courses but nothing really caught her attention. She caught mine when she asked me if I'd be upset if she were to join the Army. She ships to boot camp on 6/12. The career path in the Army should keep her from 'harm's way'. She will be able to travel, which is one of her aspirations; and she will get time and exposure to other jobs to help her during this period of figuring things out. It's very hard to let go.Accuratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09878684667999531988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-35153076152701025202007-06-08T05:03:00.000-07:002007-06-08T05:03:00.000-07:00Wow, how time DOES fly.
