My daughter makes me feel joy everyday. I know we all gush about our children but i had to say something about my daughter. She's 16 - she'll be 17 in August - and the other night she came into my room and said "Mom, i think God gave you me because you are such a good person and you deserve to be loved." We are very close and i try to make sure that she doesn't do things for me out of guilt because i'm sometimes sick or not in a good marriage so she sees how i get treated/talked to. She often comes to my room and asks me if i need anything, and then she will suggest all kinds of things - can i put lotion on your hands - can i get you a drink, can i bring you something.... I'm always shocked. It's not like i'm bedridden but she's just the sweetest thing - She'll say "Mom, you such a good person, you deserve better" I have an almost 13 year old son and he is the typical boy - wants everything- wants to go everywhere - and she will try and "parent" him on how to behave - she does it in a way to not piss him off. I don't know - she's a modern day florence nightingale or definitely an angel on earth - i could go on and on about her - i know it will seem she's a guilt ridden teenager but she's active with friends and activities - she's even going out of town this week for the most of the month of June. I encourage her to be a part of the world and not drug down by my illness or bad marriage. Anyway, thought i'd share and see if any of you have similar stories....
