This was quite a day.
Biggest news!!
Phoebe was accepted to grad school at Yale.
And YAY!! I happened to be
at Shelley's when Phoebe
came in and said she'd
gotten a text to check
her email. She opened her
laptop—and there it was.
So much talent. So much
work. So much hope.
Her world is just
beginning, and opening up
for her.
This day is memorable.
