So proud of my oldest daughter Livi!

Livi (Olivia) turns 17 this year. She has always been the most fantastic daughter a father can dream of having. She is nice to everyone, generous and always in a high spirit. She did get a steady boyfriend last year (which inspired me to take up boxing again, but I digress..). Turns out he is a great guy who really seems to care for Livi.

Today, just a couple of hours ago, she came home to me and told me she will receive the highest grade in ALL her subjects in school this semester. She is going the Nature program and she always comes to me to discuss and verify her courses. I am not much help though.. Seems the poor students have a lot more on their plate nowadays compared to when I went to the same schools.

Anyway, I am rambling because I so very proud of her.

In fact, so emotionally moved that I went into DocFluffer mode and wasted 5 minutes to put a couple of lines and chords together for her. She does not know about it yet.. she will probably feel embarrassed anyway. So I torment you guys with it instead.

Way to go Markus! You're giving Justin Bieber a run for his money. Congratulations to you and Olivia!

Congrats to Livi, and to you, Doc. I love the hat. I need to get one like that.

Congrats to your daughter.

Keep up the good work.

Awesome. I look forward to the swedish version.

Congrats on your daughter - good kids are much more bearable than bad ones.

Thank you so much guys!

Four kids later I am still frequently overwhelmed by the emotional impact a child can have on you. Being a dad/mom never gets old, as it were. Makes you feel old though..

Great start Livi. Need a little keyboard overlay, not much just a little back up support.

You guys have dentists over there? I kid, I kid...
