Our daughter Hannah graduates from high school this week.

I remember when she was six months old, crawling around with one leg stuck out to the side (we dubbed her “Peg Leg”), and I thought, I can’t wait until she can speak! I can’t wait to have a conversation with her!

All the hopes and dreams I had for her!

And you know what? We are so blessed, because Hannah surpassed every expectation I ever had for a daughter of mine. She’s nice, and brave, and caring, and smart, and talented and funny and fun and generous and beautiful and what every woman should strive to be. I am so proud of her.

In the blink of an eye, she went from sweet little girl…

To a strong young woman. Congratulations, Hannah. You have our respect, love, and admiration.
