Paige in New York

My Paige is off to New York to go to school. She is attending an acting/arts conservatory and is having the time of her life. I am so happy for her, and I miss her so much! She arrived in NY on Sept. 11, which really did seem to be a fitting and symbolic day.

I think of how a group of terrorist attempted to destroy the city, and yet 10 years later a young lady can still go there to follow a dream, a dream that only NY could offer. It shows how strong America stands, and how no one can take away a dream, a place or our spirit.

A friend commented on the picture with her arms out. He said she looks like she is going to grab the world. It's true I believe she is grabbing the world, grabbing NY and grabbing and holding onto a dream. I pray for my Paige. I pray she finds what she is looking for, and that all her hopes and dreams become reality. If anyone can do it, I know she can! I love and Miss my Miss Paige, but I wouldn't change her going to NY for the world, its her dream and we all deserve to follow our dreams. How wonderful it is to be young and so excited about life!
