Not all the days of your life are the same.
Today my daughter defended her dissertation and it was accepted. She is now a doctor in Business.
Two years ago on March 24th I had a five percent chance to live. Today I am healthy.
More importantly I am here to see this event happen. When she was in first grade she told me she wanted to get a scholarship and then a PhD.
She has done that. It only took forty years.
I feel lucky to be here to celebrate this achievement.

That's fantastic. Congratulations!

Your daughter has made you a very proud man; another milestone today!
Congrats to you and the whole family. I'm glad you're still "kickin'" and able to see all these moments. I had no idea how slim your outlook was when this happened. It's a damned good thing you're healthy and take care of yourself.
Now - if you can manage to live about another twenty years or so, maybe you'll see the Brownies hoist the trophy as well!
HERE WE GO BROWNIES! HERE WE GO!!

I'm very happy for you! Life deals us struggles and rewards. I've often times said that the struggles help us enjoy the good times more. Without struggles we would think life being easy is the norm. Life isn't always easy. Congrats to your daughter and thank God you are still here and healthy to enjoy it!

The first time I read about a Browns fan funeral in Cleveland.
I split my guts laughing. The guy's final wish was to have the Browns players lower him into the ground so they could let him down one more time.
Parent's always worry "what will my child become?"
I was just hoping she wouldn't become a biker chick.
Man I hit the lottery.
Really have witnessed her life up close. I never had a doubt that she would not accomplish this.
She is the toughest person I have ever met.

Thanks 3rd.
An interesting sidebar. My daughters 7th grade son was tested nationally just the other day. He has been in advanced science and math for two years.
On the national test for English vocabulary the test scale was 0 - 880.
He scored 880.
I feel like Homer Simpson although I do have a degree.
