I just returned form Ash Wednesday services when an email came in from my daughter Stephanie who is in college in Missouri.  Steph is also an amazing lacrosse player and this past weekend was in Florida playing.  Of course she was not happy with her picture, yet she was named the WILA Defensive Player of the Week.  And as it happened, one of her housemates was named the WILA Offensive Player of the Week.

Oddly enough, before Steph went to college, she was primarily an offensive player, and one of the best in the state.  Her college coach moved her to defense, seeing something in her that made that make sense I guess, and it seems to have been the right move.  In high school she scored goal after goal.  Now she never even shoots or is close to shooting, yet she loves what she is doing now even more.  Funny how that works.

But I am very proud of her.  She is a fine athlete, and the best daughter a dad could have.  Plus I suppose I should mention that she is a pretty fine student as well.  She is now just two and a half years away from a degree in Biochemistry with a minor in Mathematics.  (I probably ought to have her DNA checked…..after all, I majored in Trouble).

But way to go Steph.  You are awesome!  I am blessed to be your dad!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
