A Bright Past.......A Brighter Future

For my beautiful daughter. To remind you of all the great times and the promise of many more. You make me proud everyday to be your mom and you never cease to amaze me with your courage, strength, determination and will to pick yourself up and push forward. If I could be half the person you are, I would be so lucky. I love you Cai!

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising each time we fall.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

I love that quote by Confucius.

Seriously that just made me cry. You are such a great Mommy, and your daughter is so very lucky to have you. And your daughter is beautiful! I don't know if you were the one that took the photos in the old building, but whoever took them is great! I love those photos! Especially the one towards the end where she is standing tall and looking beautiful! Lovely! Oh, and I'm still in the process of typing the post up (just came by to make sure I had your
blog address correct, but I have an award for you!)
Enjoy your week! :)
