You were there for those Halloween parades (at least most of them), you were there when they were sick, you hung in there with me as a fellow Girl Scout leader, and you did it all as a single parent. I'm so proud of you and Casey. You both realized a dream yesterday. Congratulations! By the way I love Casey's grad pic (looks like a picture I've seen of you in your younger days :)Mrs. Sampleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907397177060364556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-60640618545985137572012-05-14T16:04:35.226-07:002012-05-14T16:04:35.226-07:00What a scary thing to have to go through with a ne...What a scary thing to have to go through with a newborn!

I know all of us who are mothers can relate to how scary that time in the hospital was for you and how proud you are of all of her accomplishments. I completely agree with Dotti -- be proud of yourself as well, as I am sure she learned how to be the fighter that she is from her mother.

My daughter got her Master's on Mother's Day and the memory is crystal clear in my heart as one of the very best Mother's Days and the photos always sit near by. This is a beautiful post to a beautiful girl with a beautiful mother. Don't underestimate the value of your mothering in her amazing journey and accomplishments. You should be proud! :) Thanks so much for sharing this inspiration with us.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />DottiDottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.com
