I didn't take a "first day of school" picture of my daughter and post it on the Facebook.
I'm sorry.
We can only hope that this doesn't change how water flows or that we give up on the brotherhood of man.

You'll either get a really happy kid or a picture you can blackmail her with for the rest of her life.

She's a miracle.. especially when you consider the gene pool she crawled out of.

(25,816 posts)My daughter (her birthday is today--26) had one B in four years of high school.
She would have been valedictorian but another girl did extra credit work to
get a very slightly higher GPA. Thank goodness none of my four kids did the
things I did when I was young. They're all happy, healthy and successful.

Short of performing surgery or piloting an aircraft, there is little that a cat can do that I haven't seen a cat do already, or which I need to see captured in two dozen additional pictures.
Yes, I know. So-and-so's cat is a precious miracle unique in all the world. And that picture of him sitting on a chair is unlike any other.

Was that a downer post?
Seriously I still can't believe she's not around. The boy cat still looks for her.

I am sorry for your loss.
Orrex
(63,224 posts)and we can understand your sorrow.
But being a downer in that sense doesn't mean that you shouldn't share.

Oh....well, actually, I didn't. For either of my daughters. They're now in college.
I will not sleep well tonight.

Without them I would miss out on so much more than I already am, being 800 miles from everyone else.
