Card from my 13 yr old daughter

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

Inside she wrote " I hope this card means something to you. I love you so much"

I came home from work on Friday to find that card waiting for me. What can I say. She's amazing!!!!! That's my girl!

It's time for me to take a lessong from her.

She's told me I'm not myself anymore, I don't shine the way I used to. She's telling me to blossom on my own, no matter how hard it is that it's worth it. She really is a blessing.

She may become a wonderful writer -- at 13 she has the ability to see the beauty in metaphor.

I can imagine how moved you were to get this!

That's pretty deep for a 13 year old. Sounds like she sees clearly and has learned to vocalize what she sees appropriately.

You are blessed.
