Lindsey, our first little experiment. Our guinea pig. The one that we probably made the most mistakes with.
When I see her now as a young woman going to college, I certainly recognize her as a significant highlight in our married life. To think that, somehow, we were a part of creating and raising and launching that person into the world just floors me.
It was so much fun to figure out how to raise her together. It was a grand experiment in trial and error, but it sure was character-building in both of us; and in our marriage.
I see all the good things that are in her as simple by-products of the good things that she has seen in you over the years. If she turns out even a little bit like her mother, then that will be a very good thing.
I pray she has also seen us do marriage in a way that she wants to model someday. Obviously, we have not been perfect, but hopefully she has gleaned a few good examples and insights from us along the way.
