You're my Child- I can brag, I'm suppose to!!

Presley- I love you! And anyone that stands around me long enough hears about it!! I just have to put your name on this one!!!!

Ok- so Presley comes home from school with a few minor assignments. She told me one was for her PRE-AP Language Arts class- she had to "define herself" in 6 words. I thought she meant something like : Girly, Christian, Swimmer, etc... - but she read her teachers definition to me. "It's the journey, not the destination." - OK, before anyone else says anything- you have to look at it two way- regardless, that was her teachers. So Presley's first thought was " Be yourself, everyone else is taken." I told her I really liked it, and it did define her- she is definitely herself all the time- but I asked her where she heard it and she told me "Ms. Sundee's office." - so she kept thinking and about 30 seconds later she said "Well, here's one.. "LIVE BY PASSION, NOT BY PRESSURES!" ." I just looked up from what I was doing- thinking this definitely defines her even more, and again I ask "Where did you hear that?" and she replied " I made that one up Mom." and holding back a tear or two- I said " That's the ONE- You will be a writer one day!" I meant to say " Presley Faye Majka you are the most special 14 year old I know! You Rock!! YOU make God smile down on the whole world!!!(because he knows your heart, and Jesus is your Passion.) You will Always make me proud!!" but instead ( only because I didn't want her to think her mom was a sappy crybaby, I said " You will be a writer one day!" what is that about?? And with a smile she said " I'd like to be a writer one day!"
