Cute, I like the pose. Regarding sharpness, I think most is OK but I would do a bit of selective sharpening of her eyes.

I like the reflected light on his face and also like the composition. Very difficult shot with the bright light and dark shadows so this is well exposed. Parentl pride shines through!

What do the words make her see?

This is a good picture. It has good exposure and it is processed well, not overly sharpened or neat imaged or contrasted. It is lacking some pop. I think it could benefit from a shallower depth of field and mabe being closer to the subject. You did a great job with the hard lighting. You could have easily overexposed for the light on the face but didn't. It does tell a story which is good too.
