Today for my daughter was one lone hour of classes in her new school in the acclaimed IB diploma program. I decided to take her out to lunch to celebrate this milestone and then to drive her to her first day. My decisions were rewarded. As I dropped her off to the door of her school, she leaned over with a big smile and kissed me goodbye on the lips. Unprompted. It was the best feeling ever and I felt rewarded.
Not that there was ever any doubt, but I have raised an incredible young woman.
