Today marks 99 days … til graduation. That’s what my daughter, Sara, tells me. Just 99 more days before she walks across the stage and finishes high school.
Sara. My hippie child. Guitar playing, sun-loving wonder. Sings with such honesty. Leads worship with a vulnerable heart.
Loves horses with a wild abandon. Much to my delight. She’ll skip anything to see that horse. To ride and hang out at the barn.
Her Jesus-loving spirit quiets mine. Her presence comforts me. Reminds me not to worry. Not to tangle in busyness.
We have always called her: the angel baby of life. Because she is, of course.
Just 99 days …before she flies away.
