I picked up college girl and all her dorm stuff yesterday... for the last time! Because... she is officially graduating... with honors. How very proud I am of this young woman. I'm going to take a moment to brag - because this girl of mine had to climb Mount Everest to get to where she is today. Not only did she climb, she planted her Victory flag at the top and is looking to the next horizon.
You're not just a miracle, kiddo....
You did this with much hard work and dedication.
The best gifts I've ever been given, right here.
Congratulations to your daughter. We mothers have to brag occasionally when our children make us so proud of them.
