Wow....Today is the last day of Abby's sophomore year in high school. Where has the time gone? I can still picture her getting on the school bus the very first day of school. She was wearing a little red dress with Scottie dogs on it & tiny little patent-leather mary janes. Tim & I gave her a huge hug and she never even looked back. I should have realized that would be a sign of things to come.
Abby has been moving steadfastly forward ever since. She is constantly blowing me away with her positive attitude and easy determination to make all of her dreams happen, seemingly without effort. How does she do it? I only wish I knew. I would love to say is is because Tim & I have been the most loving, supportive, and devoted parents a girl could have but I think it is something much deeper within her.
I have no worries for my fifteen year-old daughter...only daydreams and imaginings of what her life will be like. All things are possible for her and she has done it all on her own. Taking each move to a new city or school in stride, walking onto soccer fields where she doesn't know a soul and quickly make a place for herself, casually making awesome grades at school.
Monday, she starts her orientation for her volunteer position at the Humane Society. She dreams of working with animals perhaps as a wildlife vet at a zoo. If she can dream it, she will do it!!
People talk about famous people that inspire them and help them reach for the stars....I'm inspired by my daughter. If I needed her to, I think she could reach up and pull down a star just for me. Love ya' Abby!
