And how sweet that your daughter was replaying this game days before she enters high school. Funny how they're older yet still pretty young as Freshman. How did she do?

And even if they make mistakes in high school and in life, we have to trust that they will turn out okay in the end.

But on the other hand, there's still that worry as they head out into the world. "Did I give them all the tools they need?" "Did I teach them enough?" "Did I do the right thing?"<br />It may be a different scenario, but the Mother's feelings are the same.
