Those who know Hebrew will recognize that the title of this post is my daughter's name! She is a senior in high school, the Captain of her school's Dance Team, a member of the National Model UN, a graduate of the National Young Leaders' Academy and one of the funniest people I have ever met. (Of course, I promise I am not at all biased!) This is her graduation photo. I cannot believe she will be leaving us next year, but applaud the adventurous spirit that urges her on to other places!
No matter what I do in life, she and her sister will be my greatest achievements, so I wanted to share this photo with my friends in the book blog world.
She sounds like a delight! This year will fly by!
ReplyDeleteIt is just not possible that this is the little baby I met in the hospital the day after she was born. Happy birthday, gorgeous girl!
ReplyDeleteCol, sounds like you have more than one reason to be a proud mom. A job well done indeed.
ReplyDeleteChildren really are an amazing gift, aren't they?! She sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo -- you must be so proud. My oldest ["God is my might"] just started high school, I can't imagine her graduating! I'll be proud and sad at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI love this post! Your daughter is lucky to have you too. I don't want to get too personal in the comments so that's all I'll say. :)
ReplyDeleteAlways wonderful to hear this kind of loving praise about a child! She's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch an exciting time of life for her -- I hope she enjoys her endeavors and explorations and that you only miss her a little bit! ;)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tribute to family and what really matters in life.
ReplyDeleteI am also the fortunate mother of three children I love dearly.
Nice picture, Col. You have a daughter you can be proud of for sure!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. Your thoughts about motherhood are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTake it from the mom of a college sophomore, senior year is going to go by in a flash :)
Thanks for all your beautiful comments. I can't believe how fast the year is going already, so the moms who have been through this already are so right! It is a very exciting time for us all, and I really thank my blogging friends for being so supportive! What a lovely group to be in. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How wonderful. Best wishes to your daughter and your family.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture and enjoy the year! Such a fabulous tribute to family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo and kind words about your daughter!
ReplyDeleteShe definitely looks like you, Colleen! And so accomplished!
ReplyDeleteIf it is any comfort, my relationship with my Mom got even better once I went away to college.
Enjoy this special year!
