Little Things That Make Me Happy

One of the little things that make me happy is when my daughter, Michele, calls or sends me an email. She and I are best friends. We have "girls' weekends" every 3 or 4 months. There is nothing that is "off limits" for us to talk about. We are our own cheering team - we lift each other up and give warm fuzzies liberally. She's my only child. Well, until two years ago when she married. Now I have a "son". Recently Matt asked her, "How can you and your mom find so much to talk about?" I just smiled and thought back many years when her father asked me the same question about my mom.

  • That's a sweet post, Brenda. You need to send your daughter the link. I bet she would like to read it, even though she already knows it. There's something about seeing that kind of sentiment in a public forum that's meaningful.

  • It is good to know that you have that type of relationship with your daughter. I have a similar one with my father. We act more like brothers than father and son. But you know, it is an inherited trait. HIs father was the same way.
