I am sure that every father loves his daughter, and believes his little girl to be exceptional. I really think mine is. I have said before my daughter will let fear grip her to a point where she can't think. This is not to say she isn't brave, just that she doesn't react well. I digress. MY daughter is awesome. She has a strong sense of justice. She has called her own grandmother out for saying something racist. She has defended people from bullies and hatemongers. She has marched on Washington, not because she was dragged there but because she knew and wanted to defend the issues. Did I mention how proud I am. Yesterday she was part of the school walk out, to support the students in Parkland Florida. She did well and took part in something bigger than herself. That is what I want for her, to always be bigger than herself. I know she has it in her, the hard part is to pull it out and have her do. She did miss an opportunity to march for march for our lives. She wasn't proactive. She expected Lori and I to take her to whatever march we were going to. I was disappointed, The idea was for her to lead the charge and find the place we were going to march. It may have been a miscommunications we will see. I know she can make change. I know that the world needs her and kids like her. It is just hard to wait for her to realize it herself.
No points
What I learned: my daughter needs to find her path and I can't take her there
