A Daughter's Kindness

"The thing I'm the most proud of in my personal life is that my daughter actually thinks that I'm fabulous."
~ Brooke Shields

Recently, one of my best friends celebrated her birthday with a party -- the big fun kind complete with catering, a DJ and lights.  (In fact, I learned a new term -- uplighting -- for some special colorful lights at the front of her house.)  My friend deserves her big party and so much more.  She is an incredibly hard working professional woman who has shot through the glass ceiling without arrogance or bravado.  She is also a devoted mother.  And the most special part of the evening was when her teenage daughter gave a toast and called her mother her best friend and thanked her for everything she had done for her.  I can't imagine a kindness that would mean more to a mother.
