HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 

 Today my daughter turns 49.  I will always see her as the little girl in this birthday card drawing:  Running at the day care full of determination;  Insisting on a second balloon at McDonald's when the first one floated away;  Going into the school principals office and demanding equal time for girls on the boy's soccer field; Throwing down her flag and marching off the field when she was at odds with the band director. She is still that determined person. I am so proud of her.
