Honoring my daughter

Today is the day that God gave me an amazing gift. My daughter Natascha. Last time I journaled about my children was after a painful journal about them and then by surprise  flowers showed up the next day. 
I would like to honor her today. Though it was nearly impossible for her to trust me after my last suicide attempt, she persevered, she patiently watched leaving a cracked open door for a possible restored relationship. By the Grace of God things started to change in me. She saw it. Little by little she began to open up to me. Now our relationship is one of victorious respect, acceptance, and adiration for all that we went throught together and we came out with the most complex love for each other.
Her words were, "there have been vines of many emotions that have run through all our hearts, but the end result is one of complex beauty. I believe something beautiful has come out of it in the end."
Let me tell you about my daughter...born today she is now 24. She graduated high school with her associates degree. She completed her masters degree in International Government at the Age of 22. All her education done with a constant 4.0 GPA. After her last semester experienced in Oxford, she decided that England would be her place in life.
This may all be impressive, but that's what she does not who she is. Who is she? A very kind person, compassionate, gracious, gentle, witty, flexable, sweet, loves God, loves with all her heart, respectful, enthusiastic about life, intellegent, absolutely silly, insightful, wise beyond her years, and most of all she is my daughter and I thank God everyday for such an amazing gift He gave me to be her Mom.
Happy Birthday Sweet Pea!
