I Hope You Dance!

To my sweet Sarah Marie,

You are an incredibly sweet young girl with a huge heart and a curious mind. I cherish your ability to dream. We need more dreamers like you to allow us to see the possibilities. I have learned that women have an innate ability to recognize life for what it is and that is meant to be lived. It’s a fact that sometimes goes unnoticed by many “successful” people.

I only hope to have instilled in you sufficient love, trust and confidence to allow you to make the right choices for you and those you love. Choices that will let you live and enjoy life as it was meant to be. Choices that will allow you to explore your potential. Choices that will allow you to make a difference in the lives of others. And as the song goes, ..when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.. I hope you dance!!

I love you, Dad
