<p>MamaSparrow,</p>
<p>Congratulations to you and Davina! Notre Dame is lucky indeed, and she will undoubtedly succeed there as she would have at the Academy.</p>
<p>As for wondering whether she made the right decision, I have no doubt that she did. It’s what we hope for when our children come into our lives–that we can help them grow into adults capable of deciding on a course of action even when the answer isn’t cut-and-dried. Sounds like you did your job and she’s on her way!</p>
<p>As for me, I will forever regret not saying “hi” at the alumni lunch at Army Navy Country Club. But know that you and your daughter have my daughter’s and my best wishes.</p>
