My 20 year old daughter arrived home this past Monday after spending nearly two years living in three different European Countries and travelling in a half a dozen others. She had her violin with her and a few times when she needed extra money for a flight or train ticket she and her violin went busking in Berlin, Paris and Cordoba. She’s had more travel and cultural experiences than most people will have in a lifetime and I’m very proud of her. One constant theme she said came up in conversations when she was discussing her travels with people she met along the way was how impressive everyone thought her parents were for supporting and encouraging her in her travels and adventures. So not only does my daughter rock, she rocks the world!
Your daughter sounds incredible. Certainly bolder than me!
Just this morning, as I was sweeping the dining room, my wife said, “You’re sexy when you sweep.”
