A TRIBUTE TO A SPECIAL YOUNG LADY
Eighteen years ago. a special young lady was born in Philadelphia to my daughter and her husband. She was special in many ways, being the first grand child not withstanding. Elizabeth is the type of person who make grandparents just sit back and glow. I, for one, could not be more proud of what she has accomplished in her young life. This is a gal who is doing it right in a world that has it all wrong! And that's not easy. Good grades, a solid moral compass, stunning looks, a sense of family, community and captain of cross country.
I simply wish you a happy birthday "E".
Know that I love you and am incredibly curious to see what the next 18 years bring for you. You of course will have more than that, but the formative years are still happening. There will be some in the future who will want to try to bend your values and goals to their own agenda, but stay the course and be your own person. Your foundation has been fantastic and you should be congratulated for all you've done to date. Course your grand parents had a lot to do with all that and your parents as well.
You will note that I have not used the old soccer image that I made of you a hundred years ago, and for that I know you're grateful. Love you and have a wonderful day.
Grand Dad
