Things I Will Teach My Daughter
The Internet is a wonderful tool! I just learned how to release the sink stopper on my bathroom sink and remove an indescribable blob of nastiness. I almost posted a picture but realized that only a ten year old boy could fully appreciate the level of nastiness that this blob portrayed. So, upon reflection of my recent accomplishment, I've decided to make a list of "Things I Will Teach My Daughter" Please feel free to add comments, suggestions and advice.
I will teach my daughter to:
Mow the grass
Unclog a sink
Change a tire
Check the oil/tire pressure/fluids
Bake a batch of cookies from scratch
Paint a room
Change the belt/filters on a vacuum cleaner
Walk in high-heels
Accept a compliment graciously
Accept a dissappoint graciously
Write Thank you notes
Always have an emergency fund
Shake hands when she is introduced to someone
How to sew
Update
Not to talk to strangers
How to turn the water to the house off
How to jump start a car
How to cook one great meal
How to properly apply make-up

It is with the highest degree of pleasure and pride that I say to you, Sharon how blessed I am to have a daugther like you. Never in a million years could I have dreamed of what a special and eunique lady you are, and will forever remain as you are today.
Sometimes we count belssings by what we see and feel. And some blessings "just" appear" like the day you were born- 6-2- ?? Did you ever know you're my hero? The wind beneath my wings?
My love always, Dad
Sharon That message from your dad is the sweetest thing I have ever read. I am sitting here in my office in tears now thinking of my dad who I lost 2 years ago today. You are very lucky to have such a great dad...
