LeP,
What a great post yours was.
Since I've been in game face mode at work for the past month, I haven't spent the same amount of time following many SI threads as I normally would. When I've lurked on a few, I've noticed a palpably heightened tension level, lots of bickering, lots of insults, all of which I can get in my job any time I'd like. <G/NG> Keeping in touch with just a few folks here has been enough to stay connected.
Your experience with your daughter represents the very best of parenting, from what I can see. No matter what happens in life, our kids sometimes just need our reassurance that all will be ok, regardless of how old they are. I still get to enjoy that experience directly every day since my girls are relatively young (oldest is pre-teen), but I've also told them both that when they're grown up and I'm downright old, I'll still love being their dad as much as anything in life. That always draws a smile.
We may not be able to change the whole world the way we'd each like, but we can definitely have a positive effect on our families. If you can't feel good about helping your daughter the way you did, what in life CAN you feel good about?
what an easy win for you then. that will be
obvious to all. it always is. piece of cake, dude. relax.
Thanks. You've just increased the pressure. <G> No such thing as a sure thing with a jury. I'm feeling pretty confident though.
