As parents we always, ALWAYS, wonder whether we are having an impact on our progeny. Did we teach them anything? Set a good example? Will they remember any of this? What will they be like when we are not right there watching them and guiding them?
Once in a while, if you are really lucky, you get a glimpse of an answer. Maybe you have a chance to see your child do or say something SO memorable that you wish you could cross-stitch it, frame it, and hang it on the wall.
My darling daughter came home from college for a visit last week. Even though she is only 15 minutes away, those visits are rather rare and always special. While we were shopping she said something I will never forget:
"Momma, I need some ModPodge."
I hugged her, said "I love you!" and almost started crying. She took it in stride, after all, she has known me her whole life.
The moment passed, but it will never be forgotten. By me.
She even let me help her choose between matte and gloss finish. I am SUCH a proud momma!
