A early Christmas gift

With all of the stress and pressure I have been feeling lately I received probably the best gift I will get last night. It came from my daughter. She is studying family life in school right now. Last nights assignment was all about self esteem etc. I was to sit down with her and complete a questionnaire/work sheet. I help her with homework every night anyway so that was no big deal. One of the work sheets was to list what you were proud of about yourself, who are you role models and just general questions like that. I wasn't expecting her to put me as a roll model. I really figured after the past couple weeks and her attitudes towards me that she may have thought I was part of the problem in her father and I splitting up and that she just in general didnt put me in the category of a roll model. But she did. All I could do was ask her if that was how she really felt. She said yes. That was the best gift I could have received. I guess I am not doing as bad as I thought or felt. I just love that kid of mine. She made a rough day bright.
