I’m so proud of my daughter, today she goes back to college. 

What a GIFT it has been to watch her grow.

What a GIFT it has been to listen to her planning things where I would wing it.

What a GIFT it is that she’s such a smart cookie. 

What a GIFT that she was born 6 weeks early and opened up an early entry into kindergarten. 

What a GIFT it is that she with her roommates will navigate this new adventure together. 

What a GIFT that she is only an hour and a half away.

What a GIFT that her school is even opening and has a great plan. 

What a GIFT that she is not only a student, but also a work co-manager, a peer mentor, and on a professional society organization. 

What a GIFT that she’s making her own choices and living her own dreams and being able to venture out into the real world. 

What a GIFT that she’s prepared for cautious living in these times. 

What a GIFT that God has blessed her with a brain to think, a heart to love, a direction to follow. 

What a GIFT that I have to step back and let her navigate herself. 

What a GIFT that she will facetime me so I can peek into her future. 

What a GIFT that keeps on giving…

Go change the world my daughter. Actually You Already Have…

Love you!

Mom
