May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

This traditional Gaelic blessing was sung at the end of every Washington County Children's Chorus concert. Jessie was a member from the age of six until she graduated from high school. She sings like an angel, you know, no lie. I'll never forget the time I was driving the kids somewhere in the minivan and Jessie was singing along to a pop song on the radio. It was the first time I'd ever noticed her doing this; she was probably in first or second grade; and when I looked back at her in the rearview mirror her eyes looked like liquid pools of blue. Oh, so beautiful, and constantly just stealing my heart.
So Jessie Sweet, in answer to your question, yes your comments are at a professional level and mean ever so much to your dear old Dad.
