Today, I am thankful for

my DAD!  I am thankful for all the enthusiasm you had during the college (and grad school!) search.  Thank you for traveling to a few far-away places to help me realize that WashU was the place for me.   I am thankful that you have shown me what it means to be passionate about a career filled with helping people every day.  Thank you for pushing me to set goals and follow through.  Thank you for talking politics and business with me, for answering all of my ridiculous 'what if' sports questions, and for passing on your love of driving (even though I have yet to master the 10-hour solo adventure).  Thank you for never giving up, for maintaining open and honest relationships with those around you during those rough times, and for teaching me what it means to persevere.  Oh yeah, and thanks for putting the phrase 'vanishingly small' to shame :-)

I love you, Dad, and can't wait to give you a big hug next week!
