Milestones

Another milestone along my road to tomorrow, was passed today.

The little girl that came into my life only... yesterday I'm certain, submitted an application to attend Auburn Veterinary School next fall... can it be real? Is it possible that I will wake up any time now and find that it's all been a dream?

I am so proud of my daughter who from a very young age knew she wanted to be a Vet, we thought she'd change her mind a dozen times, like most kids do... not this one not once! She's had doubts, especially when buried by the science and math, and coming to the realization that other professions might provide an easier path, but she's always bounced back.

I found the following video, I think it holds many messages,

In My Daughter's Eyes

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
