My daughter makes me so very proud

[Sharon & Monty]

So my girl moved to a foreign county called Boston.  Way too far away.  She and BF have been trying to establish roots there much to my consternation....... :(  I've always pushed her away and said fly, but when she did I have hated ever saying such s***. They have struggled in a major way, no jobs, no money.  Well here we are nearly 2 years later and both of them have jobs in their degree fields.  Wow.  They are making nearly as much as DH and I are now???  How does that happen.. 

Anyway the real reason for my blog.  Today I called my DD and she sounds like my old daughter that I remember.  Lots to tell but for example, she called my dad and he was so blown away that she called him. I told her that and she was amazed.  She said really? He cared that much that I called him?  She then went on to say she has called several people, grandparents of my ex-husband and so forth.  She has turned out to be the daughter I always wished for, thoughtful and mindful of her older generation.  geez.  I am fulfilled by this tonight I just cant tell ya.... I am truly fulfilled this Christmas season more than I expected.   Sometimes we have to wait for them.  Amber is 25 this year and I love her more than ever.

Thanks for all your kind comments.  I posted this during the evening, when I woke up the next day I thought I shouldn't have put such a personal note out there, I was embarrassed.  But now I'm glad I did.  :)

I believe they learn what they live, and obviously she learned how to be an awesome young woman from YOU,

There could hardly be a better Christmas present!

This is so sweet!  Makes me think that there is hope for my soon-to-be 20 year-old DD!  Just maybe some of her training will stick, lol!!

I know just how this feels and it's wonderful. Some of them just take a little longer to find their way in life and you have clearly done a terrific job so well done you.

[BG and Gavin]

So glad she has "come back" to her family.
