Right now, as of today, you are barely just 16, but if I were going to write you a letter on your 16th birthday, I might ask something like, “Where are you going, not now this minute, but later…where are you going in life”?
Depending on her response, I might want to ask, “If it is only about the journey and not the destination, then which tickets do you plan to purchase for your ride”? More importantly, I would wonder, “What do you plan to learn on your trip”?
With each day a daily adventure, I could write, “As you pack your ‘life’ bags, what do you plan to take”? Are you taking life’s lessons, or are you taking it one day at a time”?
All of that is what I could say, and should say, when one day I realize my daughter has suddenly grown up and is now sweet 16. Then, I would say, “Happy Birthday, baby girl. Please, be careful”!
