The middle niece, the one who has the worry / OCD gene that runs in my family, is currently experiencing her summer abroad. The girl who a few years ago had panic attacks in her high school classes, had to drop out of band for a time, and was often afraid to take a shower, is now taking Germany, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Austria by storm. Her Facebook page is filled with pictures of her visiting historic places, swinging from trees, standing on skyscraper observation decks, and partying with a bunch of new friends. In answer to a question from her mother, she wrote the best sentence I ever read: "Mom, I'm not afraid of anything anymore..."
I am in awe.
And so so so proud.
You go, girl.
