I'm Kvelling...

....(bursting with pride for all of you non-Yiddish speakers) because one of my BFFs has a daughter graduating from college as I write.  Amazing how quickly the time passes!  I think of this wonderful child-now-woman and have so many memories of my BFF being pregnant, the baby shower, the birth, gazing at this beautiful little wonder, and then watching her grow into a caring and unique and inquisitive and intelligent and lovely woman who has so much to offer the world and will spread goodness along her path in life.  And I so admire her parents who have always done and continue to nurture and support and love this child and instill values of compassion and empathy and love and fairness and equality and color-race-religion blindness in a world that so needs people to carry on those values.  Bravo, dear friends, bravo.  My heart is bursting....
