Dearest Nadya — happy birthday! Stay as intelligent, beautiful, athletic, energetic, and vibrant as you have always been and I am sure always will be! What’s with the notebooks? Nadya — a volleyball coach, spending hours daily on the volleyball court and hours at home preparing for training. At home, we call this “drawing little squares.” For Nadya, it’s the little squares first, and then everything else, because a coach cannot come unprepared to the court! The gift from her girls “for when your notebook runs out of pages” touched her deeply 🙂 So thoughtful! I tell Nadya — someday you’ll publish a multi-volume series on how to raise superstar volleyball players. Happy birthday!
