The best news of my last 10 years.

Onkel Neal · 03-12-11, 08:08 PM

Thanks so much, each of you. I appreciate you when we discuss things and share opinions, and I want to express my gratitude when you let me share my good news, like this. Man, I have to tell you, when you raise little babies to be children, then kids, then teenagers, then finally adults, you are bound to make mistakes along the way. I know I was not the perfect father, but Valerie has been the perfect daughter. She has never blew off her studies, or taken the easy way out. She's just an amazing young woman, so diligent and thoughtful. I am SO proud of her. This is very exciting for us.

If that is her, you forgot to mention one very obvious thing, Neal. Be warned, women tend to snap easily if a gentleman forgets to mention it!

Oh sure, she's a cutie. She has her mother's looks.

Now unless I'm mistaken that photo Sky has posted must have been pre-2008

Never fear...I'll keep an eye on Chad

Way to go Valerie! Great investment Neal ...

I thought she was going to study in Spain or was that the other daughter. Spain is nice, but scary for a girl.

I'm getting so old I'm going to send my granddaughter Destiny (age 11) to nursing school when she gets out of HS lol
