Conversation with my Daughter

What was the best compliment you’ve received?

Years ago my youngest was going to take a mom dance in high school. She found out that the class would be on the stage in the cafeteria while the football team had study hall in there.

My daughter is shy and the thought of being in front of a bunch of athletes worried her. She asked me if I could get a schedule change for her.

I listened and understood her concerns. Telling her I’d do my best but if a schedule change was not possible, we’d find a way for her to soldier through the class.

She turned to me and said, “You’re the best mom. Most mom’s would say suck it up but you listened and understood. I love you.”

Turns out the class ended up being moved to another location and problem was averted.

I’ll carry that compliment of being the best mom with me forever.

** side note: I had a neighbor who told me if his daughter grew up to be half as wonderful as my daughters, he’d be happy. That is one of those never forget moments.
