<p>Extremely neat. I can’t imagine my son doing something like that. (maybe not even my daughter- the future Priest!)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t have posted if it wasn’t so shocking! But she does love my mom.</p>
<p>Brag away! By the way, for anyone else in a similar situation, I understand the newest Kindle will read to you.</p>
<p>Very sweet, Zoosermom. What a nice girl you’ve raised!</p>
<p>Thank you, Zmom. That’s a lovely story, and your daughter is very sweet. It’s so nice that she has a grandma she’s close to. (My son does too, and it’s meant a whole lot to him.)</p>
<p>How wonderful that your mom enjoyed the essays and poems your D wrote and how wonderful of your D to find a way to continue reading them to your mom!</p>
<p>Way to go zoosergirl!!!</p>
<p>Zoosermon, I had a teacher in grad school who told us when S1 was born, that kids know how to push you to the absolute edge, and just when you’re about to go over, they look up at you and say, “I love you, Mommy.” I’ve often noticed that just when my kids have exasperated me the most, one of them will do something so kind and thoughtful, you just melt. It may not be as direct and self-preservational as when they’re toddlers, but it still gets to a mom.</p>
<p>To see your child do something so utterly loving, generous and selfless must be a mother’s greatest joy (or close to the top anyway).</p>
<p>How lovely. Give yourself a pat on the back, Mom, you earned it.</p>
<p>zoosermom, your D is a great kid!</p>
<p>This is the type of “bragging” I absolutely love to hear. Not “my HS senior cured cancer and kept perfect GPA while doing it”, but “my kid nursed back to life the injured kitten she found on the sidewalk” sort of “bragging”.</p>
<p>A teary-eyed Hooray for D2 and her zmom (who MUST be doing SOMETHING right :p)!</p>
