A Good Mom Day
Every now and then we have a defining moment in our lives. As a mom of older kids, those moments come few and far between. Teenagers don’t usually provide you with moments that make you feel good about being a parent.
But mine did.
The other day I was picking up my 15 year old daughter from school. She had been in a good mood recently, and particularly on this day I saw a spring in her step. I mentioned it to her. I said “Honey, it seems like things are going really good for you, you seem really happy.” Her response, “Ya, I’m finally comfortable in my own skin.” I was floored!
I’m not even comfortable in my own skin, but for her to say that to me…it brought tears to me eyes. In the land we live in full of material things and airbrushed models, for her to say that to me made my year.
Did I have anything to do with it? I like to think so, but who knows. Regardless, the comment will never be forgotten.
It was a good mom day.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Your blog is lovely. I am glad you had a good mom day, with a teenage daughter those don’t happen much. Mine is sixteen.
