18 yrs ago today, I was sitting in a hospital delivery room with my wife, as our second child was about to be born. When she finally arrived, my story is (and I will always maintain this is true) that she began attempting to verbalize as I held her - and that she continues to this day to be highly verbal and social.

What a lady she is turning out to be. I'm so proud of my girl. She's applied herself to her senior year studies and has the grades to prove she can do it.

Just a few more months, baby, and you'll be out of high school. Then there's college and whatever follows.
