When you have children, you have a proprietary sense of pride. You cheer each accomplishment....from their first step onward.
This past weekend, we burst with pride for our son Derek. He has honorably served our country in the Marines and is now back in college, going for his degree in Theater. His theater company is in the midst of their run of "Rent". We expected him to do well, but he (and the rest of the cast & crew) blew us away. While watching him onstage, I was watching "Tom Collins", not Derek, the son. I can't say enough about his performance except to say that there were two parents in the audience in awe of the talent onstage.
But, as a parent I am blessed in so many ways. Each of "my babies" is multi-talented. Matt designs remarkable things (and sings a mean Neil Young...especially if he thinks no one is listening!)
Josh has a brain I envy.....I couldn't begin to figure out how to create video games. And some of my favorite music CD's are the ones he made while in college! Tiffany has such a wealth of compassion for others (which is why she'll excel in her line of work!) and has the voice of an angel.
So much talent and so much beauty. And yes, each of them is beautiful. I love my babies, more than they know.
