wonderful.

Posted on December 28, 2017 by beth

family watches with pride and awe

as mom/wife/my youngest daughter

crosses the stage to get her master’s degree

she worked so hard for this

all while

caring for them

teaching full time

learning at night

and

showing them what is possible.

“do something wonderful, people may imitate it. “

-albert schweitzer

—

proud of you baby girl, go blue!
