Another day has finished and tomorrow the sun will rise.
Tomorrow we watch a friend row, an amazing young woman, a woman you had an impact on. We met her when she was only 12 years old. You taught her to play chess, encouraged discussions about art, politics, and literature. We invited her to outings down town, brought her to exhibits at the art museum. She was home from college and visited you your last night. You saw that potential when she was just a child and now she is a young college student. She has been an excellent role model for your princess. She is so intelligent and caring. She truly looked up to you and enjoyed our conversations.
She would babysit our little one when we went on dates, you know what's funny about that, we would always start talking about our little girl and we'd only be a mile away from our house. We'd joke to see how long we would last before we would start talking about her. I also remember we'd warn the babysitter that we might be back really really late, of course we were home by 9pm or 10pm. I digress, once we came back home and paid our neighbor for her babysitting services, she would totally hang out with us and it was just awesome. This young articulate high school student wanted to discuss events happening in our world. After we got home she chat with us for a few hours, then we'd flip the light switch off our deck and watch her go home. Now she is a junior in college, president of the row club, and an amazing young woman.
Good night my love.
take care
