As readers of my blog know… I have three daughters: Kristin, Karen and Karla. Although I was not either trained or prepared to raise daughters, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Daughters need fathers in ways sons seldom do…. and best of all… they keep in touch.
I was thinking these past weeks while two of my daughters were site seeing in and around Beijing, how much they have changed, grown and off doing many interesting things.
Although the picture above goes from right to left on Karen’s ‘evolution’ from a middle school thrower to a Ph.D. student at the University of Tennessee, it reminds me of the many challenges met in her varied athletic experience. One of the fortunate lessons from her mother was to develop a ‘life after sports’ and this can be easily viewed in watching her strong academic efforts.
Just a note , ladies, you all make me proud to be your daddy.
