As my 15 year old daughter Sara, sorts through the fresh drama of the past weekend, I have witnessed her go from extreme moments of self doubt to strong displays of assurance and self worth.

She is amazing!

In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride is on my profile page song playlist. It is one of Sara's and my favorite songs. It expresses the truth between us. And I am not kidding when I say I cannot get through the song or the lyrics without crying.






In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
