What a child will say....My 16 year old daughter told me tonight that she does not mind being "just like me". It took me a moment to catch my breath and to ask her why she thought that.
Her reply...
"Because you can overcome anything, You always just say whatever and keep going".
Just when I thought I was letting my children down for not being that "perfect" person she said that to me.
What a great hug we had. What great tears of gratitude I showed my daughter for seeing something I thought her too young to see.
This is one of life's really really good moments.

Smart kid! It usually takes them until their mid-20s to realize we knew what we were talking about. lol
