Beautiful Rob...just beautiful!

Oh...and what you wrote in your blog was pretty good too!

That WAS beautiful, as is your daughter.

I liked the reply posting of, "is she yours?" My wife says of me all the time, "You have to hand it to my husband, he treats both our boys just like they were his own!"

kb-
the funny thing is I look at her myself and ask - "you really came from me?"

You just have to learn to stop asking so many questions Rob!

Congratulations on the accomplishment, and beautifully written.

Ummmm,...just for the record,..I have a handsome 19 year old, intelligent, athletic, and musically inclined son,...who one day will need a beautiful smart wonderful wife,.....who then inturn will give my husband and I fabulous genius grandchildren for us to spoil rotten.

Perhaps we should talk!

She is amazing Rob,....you & your wife deserve to be proud.
I wish her the very best of success with her future! Shes a winner!!

Congratulations......how time flies by, indeed.

Rob - Your daughter is a very beautiful young lady. If the world had more parents like you and your wife, we'd be a much wealthier world in what really matters. I applaud you both. Best of luck to that gorgeous and talented lady!

Rob,

Wow, what a beautiful daughter, and a beautiful article. Thank you for sharing this!

Can't say it any better than this!!!!


I, too, had a high school graduation this year (and an eight grade graduation--even more traumatic and emotional!) When my babies were, well, babies, I never believed the people who told me to enjoy them because it goes by so quickly. Those baby days seemed to last forever. And then they're grown. Amazing.


Hey... whassamatta wit raisin a kid in Chicaga????

After I read Rob's blog, I actually went to peek in on my sleeping daughter who will be a HS senior next year. She was already sleeping on a Friday night because she takes the ACT for the first time in the morning. I had these memories of standing over a crib just yesterday watching my little round faced baby. Where did those years go?!?!?!

Playbaseball - nothing wrong with those Chicago babies!!! Alot of them grow up with wonderful moms, and dads that are a bit.... um.... unique!?!?!

Thank you, everyone, for your so very kind thoughts. I knew that the folks on this board would understand the emotions a parent feels as their kids make their way through the rites of passage.

It is so funny that though I have met in person only a few of you, I regularly talk of people I know on this board as "my friend..."

I know. We do the same! Isn't it wonderful????

I have only met two websters. But wouldn't it be wonderful to have like a convention or something? I would absolutely love it...but it could never happen--too much baseball with no free weekends!
