I don't have everything I ever did in school, and I've never given it a second thought. I'm hoping my children will feel the same.
Back to Friday. As I was organizing the files, Megan brought down a small stack of papers from her bedroom she had brought home on the last day of school. She began going through them to see what to keep and what to discard. I was working on my own piles, when suddenly one of her paper's caught my eye. It was a short essay they had to write on "My Hero." And look who she wrote about?!?
Yours Truly.
It made my day. Especially, as we had had a morning that I'm quite certain would have not caused her to write such an essay about me just then. Of course it went into the "keeper" pile. And even re-reading it now, with all it's junior-highish grammar and handwriting, it makes me smile.
Reading this essay makes me realize that despite the drill-sergeant side of my personality that I feel comes out way too much, I must not be quite so bad after all.
A reminder I NEEDED by the end of the first week of summer.

Wow I don't think you could ask for a bigger compliment from anyone else in the world. What a great essay and such a boost for you. Good job Megan for noticing what a amazing person your mum is :)
That is so amazing and profound! If you ever had any doubts as to how you were doing as a mom, there it is: you are your daughter's hero. So touching. Thank you for sharing!
How sweet is that! That would have brought tears. I would put it in a frame in your room so you have proof you are a good mom for those days you don't think you are.
That's what I call a "Mommy pay day!"
What a great girl Megan is. Talented, beautiful, thoughtful, a go-getter, and able to express herself. It will be a pleasure watching her grow.
