What an appropriate term for our Popinjay this week! Strong. That is my daughter all around. Strong because she just graduated law school as a single mom. Strong because she finished top in her class -- her last exam needed a 77 to pass and she got a 110. Strong because when she was a child we had to memorize Dobson's "The Strong Willed Child" in order to raise her. Strong because..... she is. She stinkin' IS. She is everything I ever dreamed of being. She is Strong. Here's to you, my beautiful daughter, as you decide whether to be a stay-at-home mom, a sweet, supporting wife, or an influential, aggressive lawyer that seeks to stand up for abandoned children. You go, girl!!
