that was then, this is. . .

that was then.

today you are 14-going-on-15, or if you had your way. . .

14-going-on-driver's-license. ack.

today you finish middle school. 14 years have gone by in the blink of an eye, some of the time good, most of it great.

you have gone from adorable baby to gorgeous young woman, and i've witnessed the most remarkable transformation along the way. i am pleased that i was here to enjoy it with you, and i am so very proud of you.

happy graduation. high school is next, and then the rest of your life, whatever that holds.

i love you, moira.

Since you are a Star Trek fan and can appreciate what I am going to say.... I met the father of Jeri
Ryan who played 7 of 9 on Star Trek Voyager. She was also on Shark and many other programs. I met her father, Jerry Zimmerman, while on my motorcycle trip, "Run For The Wall". http://www.rftw.org/ He is also with the Patriot Guard Riders. We had a good chat. He is sending me a personalized picture of Jeri Ryan.
