Today while sitting at a stoplight, I notice a tall weed sprouting proudly between the cracks in the sidewalk.  This weed was determined. He defied all odds.  He is growing strong after finding his source of sunlight through the cement surface that surrounds him.  This weed looks like he belongs on an inspirational quote website, a motivational calendar, a pastel greeting card with cursive writing…I paused....I shook my head, rolled my eyes and resisted my gut reaction to go and pluck the weed from his meek existence.I am my father’s daughter.
