It all happens so damn fast!!
One day youre pushing your babygirl in a swing or playing with them at the park and what seems like the next, youre dropping them off at College to start their freshman year.
Words cannot describe the emotions that are tied with this process.
Ive spent over half of my life as a parent and now both of my kiddos are adults and following their dreams. This is truly a blessing and proud does not do it justice when I try explaining how I feel right now.
Shelby Garten you will always be my Princess and I will always be your rock. Nothing will ever change that regardless of distance between us.
You were made for greatness and leaving home was inevitable in order for you to achieve what God has already planned. Im so very proud of you for accepting this challenge and not letting fear keep you from chasing your goals.
Personally, my biggest flex in life has been making sure you and your brother didnt go down the same path I did at your ages.
Watching you both graduate high school and then go off to college as a dad who never actually graduated highschool has been a work in progress since the day you both were born.
Cycles have been broken and future generations of our bloodline have been changed!!
Anything is possible through CHRIST who STRENGTHENS us!!
WE ALREADY WON BABYGIRL!!
