Today is the Council PTA's Awards of Excellence luncheon. It is also the luncheon where the PTA scholarship winners get to read their winning essays. The Girl won. I'm pretty sure I will cry when I hear her essay. I haven't yet, but the snippets I have seen made me tear up. That is a problem because after the essays I will be required to stand in front of the group and present the awards the high school is giving to two bus drivers, a teacher and a volunteer. I will do my best to avoid the "ugly cry" but I can't guarantee it.
At least The Girl knows what to expect from me. In fact, maybe she wrote this essay with this moment in mind.
I hope she isn't naturally that cruel. But the whole family seems to think it is funny if they can make me cry over good things.
I'll get her essay and post it tomorrow, so you can see if her intentions were cruel to start, or just too heartfelt for her mom. If I can see thru the tears to post it.
