"You Can Let Go"

Growing up is complicated thing, an probably even more so for the parents. In many cases, it seems to take a bigger roll on the farther especially when it comes to to his "little girl." It's got to be a pretty difficult moment when begins to realize his daughter continues to need his protection less and less.
As you listen to the song " You Can Let Go," by Crystal Shawanda, you begin to understand the true anguish and sorrow a father feels as his daughter begins to go her separate way. The song starts with her learning to ride her bike. As she "heads for the street," she yells " you can let go now, Faffy, you can let go. Oh, I think, I'm read to do this on my own. This verse introduces the conflict the father goes through when he starts losing the need for his little girl.
Throughout the rest of the song, he's asked for his daughters hand in marriage when you feel most grief-stricken for him. As "eyes filled up with tears," the daughter whispers in his ear, "you can let go now, Daddy, you can let go. Showing again the pain in losing his daughter to another man.
The last part of the song is most touching. Her dads "wasting away to nothing" in the hospital, and she knows he's fighting for her. She again tells him, "you can let go now, Daddy, you can let go. Your little girl I'd ready to do this on her own."
Letting go is a hard thing to do for anyone. But from the song, you realize that you have to make sacrifices for the best. Enjoy time with those you care about, and regret nothing.

Should he be forgiven?

A tobacco industry executive lies to a congressional committee about the addictive qualities of smoking even after his research shows thousands of people each year will die from smoking addiction. Should he be forgiven?
I would have to go with yes. And the reasoning behind my answer is because he is just a business man trying to make money. People who want to buy cigarettes have the opportunity to make a choice. They know the outcome that will take place if they smoke. They know that it's their decision, and the result is on them. If they want to spend money they have and waste them on cigarettes. They pay for their own death. It's the people's fault for falling for the lies that were told.
I'm on the side that favors forgiving him. He is just a man, trying to make money. People are just dumb!

Unsolved Mysteries: Lisa Irwin

It doesn't seem like there would be anything more horrifying then having your child go missing. They could be lost, hurt, hungry, or worst of all, abducted. Every 40 seconds in the United States, a child is reported missing or abducted, which is approximately 2,000 children per day or 800,000 per year.
Not only would it be frightening for the parents, but even more so for the child. They were taken from their family and potentially beaten, sexually abused, or even killed. Think about how terrifying it would be to be completely helpless in the hands of a stranger or possibly even a family member or family friend.
For Debbie and Jeremy, they haven't seen their daughter, Lisa Irwin, since October 4th, 2011, but they aren't giving up. It's been over a year since "[Debbie] opened the door to her daughter's room and found her baby gone," and they still "look at every baby" they pass.
I think it's awesome they haven't given up, but I also think that after a while, it's easier to just believe he/she is safe with God. Then you can slowly start to heal instead of stressing about where they could be the rest of their life. But they truly believe that "she's alive and someone knows something." So I respect them for their dedication to their daughter as they "pass out flyers, bracelets, and other reminders of Lisa" as a sign of their persistence to finding her. They even buy a different size outfit every few months in belief that "[they'll] bring her home" someday.

Razorbacks win 19th SEC indoor championship

The Arkansas razorback indoor track team won their 19th indoor SEC track meet Saturday. The razorbacks were going into the meet ranked no. 1, but weren't expected to win. The razorback were underestimated, and highly doubted by the other teams. The only reason they seemed to be number one is because they teams they had faced had bad meets and the razorbacks had gotten lucky. They proved people wrong and triple jumper, Tarik Batchelor, won his event he wasn't even picked to place in. He won with a jump of 53 feet.
I too, have been put in the same situation. When I was in 8th grade on the 9th grade track team to be exact. People had us to do awful based on our previous track meet in Heber Springs. And I, being younger than the rest of the jumpers, was picked to not even place like Tarik. I jumped a 36 and won the event. We also won the meet. Just like the Razorbacks.

Dieting For Their Men

Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated fashion with the combination of physical exercise to decrease, or maintain, body weight. While dieting is often seen as a positive goal, it can also lead to a negative mindset.
The two sisters, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, hit the gym hard as they push themselves for all the wrong reasons. They have endured brutal exercise and a strict diet not to feel better, but to look better for their boyfriends, Kanye West and Scott Disick. The two "sweat it out" as their personal trainer tells them, "it matters how you look, not how you feel." The shocking words seem harsh, but the women seem to have "taken them to heart." Most women can relate to wanting to look good for their guys, but the sisters are taking it too far.
Not only is their exercising routine ridiculous, but their strict eating diet is beyond mind-blowing. Everything they order has to be checked to see if it is "all-natural." Kourtney was even seen "agonizing over the menu" and then only eating "one kernel of corn" as her meal. It turns out, Kanye and Scott do not exactly "appreciate the ladies healthy and widely admired curves." Kim and Kourtney just need to stop focusing on looking good for others.
Being fit is not about a number on a scale, and that is what Kim is beginning to realize. She admits that "[her] goal is to care more about how [she] feels than how [she] looks." Which is a good mindset both girls should have.
