My Daughter Danielle Pelletier

I am extremely proud of my daughter Danielle. She has worked very hard these past few years to really do well in high school so she could learn to do well in university. And bag a sweet cholarship from the University of Ottawa, where she'll begin classes in September. Her grade 12 graduation ceremony was just the other night . She scooped a number of awards, including Ontario Scholar, no small feat! She is shown here in a designer gown just before a limo whisked her away to her prom. If you click on this (or most any) picture, you'll be glad you did!



It will be very hard to embark on our voyage and leave her in Ottawa. We have a close relationship.Yet her emerging Adult-ness is urging her on to do what she must do. Like me.


So she has found a great apartment in Ottawa, a fifteen minute walk from Ottawa U. Two room mates: her boyfriend Kinsey, shown below, and their friend Shannon, also studying at U of O.


My thoughts and prayers go with them. Not only are Kinsey & Danielle starting an education, but also a new relationship. Sounds busy. But they love Ottawa, have been partying and having fun in this city for a few years now. Kinsey hopes to become a music producer ( I hope I have that right, if not I'll update this post later) and Danielle is looking forward to being produced! I will leave it to them to dicover the joy in getting to know another human being on this level, yeah, to learn to love each other.

Until then, I wish them all the best as Danielle enters her first year in the Social Sciences program. Fly, my younger flegling! Your landings will always be happy if you are happy with the choices you make. Remember to smile when you are happy and when you're sad. Or scared. Or perhaps lonely for the carefree life you left in kemptville. Giving a smile will remind you that you are living your own life. You are free to be yourself, free to change your mind, free to cry. And believe me, I'll be deciding to smile through some tears too!

Cheers! Good luck and God Bless You! Mama.
