Hey Mama, what a wonderful gift tonight's event was for both of you! As I sat here reading about it, I felt a twinge of jealousy for my D12. I'd love for her to get notes of affirmation, especially right now! Waiting in Joyful Hope...Goldey
It really was a great evening. It was almost a coming-of-age celebration. It was a bit of a relief to hear our girls clearly expressing the values they've been taught--and the values that have become part of them.
How about requesting some notes of affirmation as a Christmas present? Or an Advent thing? You don't need an official event, you can create it yourself. There are also a lot of really good resources out there for positive mother-daughter relationships; Dove dot com has a very positive site along these lines.
