Today my beautiful niece (and godchild) left for Ireland with her husband. They plan to stay there for one year. It is difficult to imagine Amber being thousands of miles away from us for an entire year. From the day she was born, she has been a shimmering ray of sunshine in the lives of everyone she touched, and an important member of our family. She has a smile that lights up the entire room and a quiet elegance. She is our princess (without the attitude)! While I will miss her, I am so proud of her for being a confident young woman who is ready to explore the world. She grew up in a family that surrounded her with unconditional love and she carries that love with her no matter what continent she is on. At the age of twenty-one, she has maturity and common sense beyond her years. She is a strong young woman who will take on the world on her own terms - just as it should be! Knowing that, even though it is difficult to let her go, the love of her family has created a strong independent woman who takes a piece of each of us wherever she goes . . . it's a good thing!
