74. Thanks Shazzie. She's incredible in several ways. Her focus and determination have been almost supernatural.

She's got strong leadership skills in a not so obvious way. Sweet, compassionate and hasn't been a bit of trouble. We knew early on that we had hit the jackpot.

The goal has always been to keep her challenged, while providing her with opportunities to excel and thrive. But mostly she just needed us to stay out of the way.

I hope I live long enough to see how far she's going to go because I know she's on her way to humble greatness. It's been a wonderful ride. Too short but outstanding.

Thanks so much for taking the time. I really appreciate your reply.
