Daughters are so special

[TennVet]

We have three sons and one daughter. She has always been and is still so very amazing. Yesterday we listened to her son's class commencement speech as the president of his class. He thanked many persons faculty and such, but immediately then looked to his left, "and most of all to my mom". Just a few years ago we all lived through her cancer journey. So I was in awe of a young man showing so much poise and strength to pay tribute to his mother. He could have gone another direction and she would have been just as proud of him, all that knew of those events realized the powerful emotion behind his words. I found a tear then and now.

I have 2 sons and a daughter. She was the cutest, most charming little thing on 2 feet ...until she turned 13, when she suddenly became the most enigmatic, spiteful, emotional, confusing person I have ever known in my entire life ...until she turned 35.

Now, she's a delight (again) but sometimes I'm still too dizzy from the harrowing roller-coaster ride she had me on from 1995 to 2017 to thoroughly relax and appreciate that.

My parents, on their honeymoon, had two big arguments: One about whether they were going to dress their sons in long pants or short pants and the other about whether the first son was going to be a Jr. or have his own name.

Six daughters later......

Well I have 4 daughters; the oldest turns 50 next month (talk about me feeling old!). I'm amazed at just how different they all are, and yet they get along so well. They are great mothers too! A tribute to my late wife!

I was sitting with a friend on his front porch one day. This guy had 9 daughters. NINE. Anyway, we're sitting there and his neighbor walks by with his wife and their 4 little boys, including one in a stroller, and my friend yells out to the wife "Hey, Carla, would you mind if my wife borrows your husband for a while?"

Now, I'm positive there wasn't any husband-loaning involved, but a few years later my friend and his lovely wife finally had a son! And they were both nearly 50 by then, but he was a totally healthy baby.
(biggest cook-out ever, the day that baby boy came home from the hospital)
