Happy Birthday Abby

Today my daughter turns 15! I know it's cliche but it does seem like yesterday that she was climbing up on my shoulders and I was teaching her to ride a bike without training wheels.  Now, on Monday, she will take her Driver's Test to get her learner's permit.  It's going to be a great Daddy/Daughter Day... we'll get to the license office around 6am to wait in line until 8.  Then she'll take the test and, hopefully, we'll be out of there by noon... I'm not counting on it!  Then the words that she's waited so long to say will come..."Dad, can I drive home?"  I'll have to say yes... I want to say yes... I want her to learn to drive well and be confident in her skills while I'm in the car with her.... because in just one more year, the words will come that I hope I'm ready for... "Dad, can I borrow the car?"  I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet... we'll just celebrate her 15th birthday for now and get ready for the Great Driving Adventure.  Happy Birthday Abby... You make me proud... I love you!
