Kindness and the Fairy Godmother

“I knew I was loved.  And that’s such an important thing.  And, of course, at such an early age, you take it for granted.  Of course your parents love you.  Of course Mrs. Hubert across the street loves you and your godmother loves you and your grandparents love you.”
~ Jessye Norman

One of my children was going to a prom recently.  She would be wearing her first long dress.  Her godmother came over to see her before she left, which I thought was very thoughtful, especially as the godmother had just returned from an out-of-town business trip very late the night before.  Once my daughter was in her long dress, we tried a couple of my necklaces to see what might work, but they didn’t look quite right.  My daughter’s godmother took off a necklace she was wearing for my daughter to try on.  And it was perfect, so off my daughter went to the prom with her fairy godmother’s magic wand touch.
