I Always Wondered!

I always wondered what kind of woman our daughter would grow up to be.

Well at 23 years of age, I am happy to say, I know for sure what kind of woman my daughter has become.

She is beautiful, warm, smart and an extremely caring person.  Now as a little girl she always wanted to take care of people and their booboo’s and as a young teenager she aimed to please and was not your typical misbehaving teenager.  I am not sure why god blessed us with such a wonderful little human being but I am thankful for everything she has become and I take no credit for it, she has done it all on her own.

For Thanksgiving she and her fiancee drove to IL to visit family and friends.  Now keep in mind she is a broke college student living with her fiancee, racked up $30,000 in student loans, taking full-time classes and working 2 part-time jobs.  She has worked since she was 16 because she always like how it felt to have her own money, while still using ours of course

Half way to IL. she encounters what appears to be a homeless man or just an out of work man standing at an intersection, holding a sign asking for help.  My daughter knowing she doesn’t have much to offer, bless her heart, decides at this moment to “Pay if Forward” with what little she has.  So she hands him $5 and a bag of donuts and wishes him a Merry Christmas.  He wishes her the same and says “god bless” and with that she is gone, driven through the intersection.

So it isn’t much but I am certain that in God’s eyes that day it was huge.  And in my eyes, grow tears thinking how blessed I am am to have her and for God to have given her to me as I was told when I was 12 years old that I could never have a child as I was too little and my body could not carry one.  Now I am not a overly religious person but I am spiritual and I believe that we have been watched over through the years and at the tender age of 20 I had a bouncing 8lb, 8oz, 21″ baby girl.  So to the doctors I say “stuff that in your pipe and smoke it, you where wrong, very wrong” and our daughter is proof of that.

So I have babbled about our lovely daughter, choked on my peanut brittle because my eyes have filled again, and hope everyone feels the joy I feel at this very moment.

Happy Holidays to all my new blogger friends.
