How true! I hope I can help my daughter achieve her dreams and that most of all they will be HER dreams that she achieves.

I am proud of her. Though she's only 4 yrs old she is growing fast and learning quickly. She shows such compassion at times. - I've seen her pass up playing with kids she had been asking to play with because she saw a friend of her's was distraught. She ran past the kids without a sideways glance to comfort her friend instead. - We went to a funeral and her main concern was that the people not be so noisy and wake the deceased. When I explained the situation she then decided it would be a good idea to sing "Jesus Loves Me" to those who were mourning. I hope she continues to think of others in such a tender way.

I'm also proud of hubby. He has grown so much since we married. He's gone through a lot and had pushed on. He's had more trouble than many people his age and yet he's not given up. He doesn't wallow in self pity but works hard to help take care of his family.

I'm also proud of myself. I have turned my back on some of the self destructive behaviors of those in my immediate, childhood family. I still struggle with some patterns of thinking but I strive to at least recognize it when I do it.
