OT - Proud Dad moment....MGO(Hawks)Daughter's Graduation
Big moment of pride today. My MGoDaughter graduated this morning from the University of Iowa with her BS in Health and Human Physiology.
This kiddo was born 2 months premature, weighed under 3 lbs at birth, had to have belly surgery when she was 4 days old to remove a blockage from her intenstine, and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at 9 months and then had to undergo about 7 surgeries to install and revise a head shunt.
She caught up. She graduated high school 5th in her class, and just completed her Bachelor's (despite all the COVID mess and online learning years and all of it). Congratulations to all the graduates this year, but especially to my baby girl, who has been a shining light all of her 22 years so far.
Thanks for indulging a proud papa.
Congratulations to your daughter and your family! Job well done. She sounds like she'll do very well in life from here on out.
congrats to you all.
Considering all that you went through, OP, that must feel amazing. Big congratulations.
Congrats! Facing that type of adversity so early on seems to have made you both stronger in the end!
I always thought it was b.s. -- but apparantly "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" applies here...! Congrats to you and your daughter... winners in school and life!!
Congratulations!
Give her the biggest, warmest hug ever and whisper, “42-3…shhh, 42-3”
Bask in the day, proud papa. It sounds like it was a rough journey to start and your little girl has quite the fighting spirit. Congratulations!!
Congrats to her and the rest of your family for providing her plenty of love and care to persevere through it all. Ain't no stopping her now!
Awesome news! Congrats papa!!
Congrats to your daughter and family. The COVID kids have had a rougher road than most -- we graduated a nephew today from Iowa, so we were following the stream back here in Chicago. With one kid our there paying taxes and another getting ready to submit college apps, I know that this is a big f*&^ing deal, so enjoy!
Wow, great story and a wonderful ending and new beginning!
Congrats to all of you but especially your daughter. A lot to be proud of. Wishing her much success wherever her career takes her!
Congrats and Go Hawks!
Congratulations! Your daughter sounds like a remarkable young woman. She is an unstoppable force, and I am so glad that you shared your pride with us!
You two Rawk! Congrats to her and the proud Papa.
This is Michigan fer God’s sakes.
But congrats to your daughter.
Congrats MgoDaughter on overcoming a lot and this great accomplishment. Happy for you proud dad.
Wow! Congratulations to her and you. MGo(temporarily)Hawkeyes!

I think what's best is, she's got it built into her now. No matter what uphill climb she faces, she'll think, heck, I've done this before. That's more valuable than gold. Congratulations to her and to you.
Congrats on her achievements (and surviving four years of a Brian Ferentz led offense). Wonderful story.
Congratulations to you and her ... kicking ass and taking names
