Whatever you do, make a difference. Earn the right to look back at something and say, 'I did that.'
Michael JosephsonOne of the greatest things about daughters is how they adored you when they were little; how they rushed into your arms with electric delight and demanded that you watch everything they do and listen to everything they say. Those memories will help you through less joyous times when their adoration is replaced by embarrassment or annoyance and they don't want you to see what they are doing or hear what they are saying. And yet, you will adore your daughter every day of her life, hoping to be valued again, but realizing how fortunate you were even if you only get what you already got.
Michael JosephsonTake pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don't forget to enjoy the journey.
