I have two grown children of my own, a daughter who will turn 36 on May 23 and a son who will be 34 on July 27.<BR/><BR/>It gives your heart a real boost to see them taking flight on their own wings.Runawayimaginationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392405682285496123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-1147893517242991942006-05-17T14:18:00.000-05:002006-05-17T14:18:00.000-05:00Things have changed a lot in 30 years.

When I graduated from high school in the late 60's, I didn't have much vision of women's careers beyond store clerk, school teacher, librarian, nurse, or secretary.

It strikes me as utterly magnificent that girls these days even KNOW about careers like this, and then pursue them so successfully. I had no idea, when I was your daughter's age, that there was such a thing as pathology, much less that I could be involved in it.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on having raised a young woman with enough smarts and confidence to pursue such an exciting career.<BR/><BR/>WIPWrkinprogresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856828776670191811noreply@blogger.com
