College

Looking back on the milestones of our lives, it is important to recognize those who have made our path a little easier. Perhaps it was a parent, a teacher, a coach, a mentor or someone we simply call "friend."

We think this scenario will resonate with many people-where a young woman, headed off to college stops...and expresses to her father her appreciation for "everything." We all have someone who helped us get to where we are today. The song, "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion, adds a poignant and uplifting touch to this message.

[lyrics]

For all those times you stood by me

And all the truths you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

You're the one who saw me through it all

Dad: And remember

Daughter: Seat belt, drive safe, Call when I get there.

Dad: Well, bye. I love you.

Daughter: I love you too daddy.

Daughter: And thanks, for everything.

[lyrics]

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

Because you loved me

Gratitude, Pass It On.
