my 8 year old daughter amazes me. as a matter of fact, all of my children do. i was able to go to her softball game friday night. it was her first game i have been able to see this year. she hit a home run!!! in their league nobody hits over the fence. theirs are the hard way. the term “round tripper” is true. they hit the ball and keep running until they are out or “blue” calls “time” which is a nice way of staying stop or the play has ended. she has had one home run every year and i was so thankful she did it with me there to see it. God smile on drunks, idiots and bus drivers alike, i am glad i fit 2 of those categories (i don’t drink). she went 3-4 tonight and she had a great game defensively. no errors. to bad she can’t play in the majors. softball is her thing. every child has a thing. with my 14 year old it is her voice. i cried the first time i heard her sing to a crowd at a family event. her voice is incredible and i have no doubt she will sing professionally one day soon. if angels had voices, it would be hers. i will not tell you her name as i use no names so i can keep this anonymous. you will hear about her one day. my 8 year old is softball. my 9 year old is gifted athletically so i guess his thing will be basketball. his ball skills are amazing. as for my 20 year old, her thing is just being herself. she is going thru some life changing events and i know she will be an entirely different person on the other side. she has a long way to go but i know God is lifting her with some strong wings. as the eagle flies thru the storm with confidence, she will too. they are all different and unique and i love them so much. they will never do anything to make me stop loving them and praying for them.
i am proud of them all. equally and unconditionally.
until next time…
