Uncommon Legacy, 72 x 72 inch quilt, by O.V. Brantley, 2009. For sale at ETSY.com/shop/ovbrantleyquilts

It’s graduation weekend at our house! India graduates from the University of Pittsburgh Sunday with a Bachelor of Science degree in Emergency Medicine. She is happy, and I am proud.

Only she and I know the struggles we went through to make this day happen, but as we have said to each other over and over, “We did it!”

In our house, the concept of being a servant leader is a guiding light. I am so grateful that my daughter has chosen to live her life with that principle in mind. Like my quilt shown above, she is truly an uncommon legacy.

What will be your legacy? Will it be something that makes the world a better place?
