I can't think of a better wish for my daughter than this:
I'm adding the lyrics. As I'm finding out more and more from being a man in a family of mostly women, it can be difficult to grow up female in this society.
"That I Would Be Good"
that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds
that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing
that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy
that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you

Happy birthday, Griffyn!
She says "thanks," Hoyt. And so do I.
Happy Birthday, Griffyn! Excellent song.
Sorry I missed this post :(
Happy Belated Birthday to your daughter...and I hope hearing that song doesn't ruin it for her ;)
She says "thanks" BB and Jackie. (Alright, she didn't really. But I appreciate it, so I'm saying it.)
She loved the song, though!
