Since she's only one year away from graduating with her master's in Student Housing, she's just about ready to set off to start her new life as a professional. I know she won't be able to keep this in her office because it's too cute-sy, but hopefully it will find a nice place in her new home.
She also just got a tattoo of a clover today too. It's her first ever tattoo, and the first in our immediate family. Neither her brother, Dad or me have one. She's truly a trailblazer!
Right now she's fine with me still calling her my daughter. If she wants to be called just "child" in the future that's fine too. And I may have to get better at using "they" and "them" pronouns rather than "she" and "her," but that's fine. I love her and it doesn't matter to me how she identifies. She'll always be my baby!
this is really. i love that you are accepting of your daughter. it is such a relief when your parents accept you for who you are i know it was hard for me to come out to my parents but now they are accepting and see that my wife and i have built a beautiful home filled with love just like everyone else. thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteSusie, your comments warm my heart! Yes, I love my daughter no matter what, and I'm so glad that you and your wife have a wonderful life and especially that your parents are accepting of you two. Thanks so very much for coming by and letting me know that my post was a blessing to you! :)
