I always enjoy the little things in life that remind us that celebrities are just people like you and me.  The latest example comes from Tim McGraw.  He may be one of the biggest country stars in the last 30 years.  He may be married to Faith Hill.  However, he's also and always "Dad" to three girls.  And I think this is a good time to salute Tim & Faith for the job they've done protecting their girls privacy and anonymity.  They deserved to grow up in their own way, and Gracie, Maggie and Audrey were able to do just that.  Middle daughter, Maggie Elizabeth quietly took another big step as she received her Masters Degree from Stanford University.  And Tim took to Instagram to pay tribute to her and this achievement.

"We are so incredibly proud of our Maggie May!!!! She graduated from her Masters program at Stanford University this weekend and what a celebration!!!  I have such admiration for her work ethic, her fierce love of her family and especially her passion to make the world a better place.....Go get em my sweet girl!!!! Proud Pop!”  Congrats to Maggie and the entire family.  Yessir, quite a day.
