Humbled

I had the nicest thing happen last night. Well actually it wasn’t something that happened; more like something I heard.

My daughter and her good friend, Brittany, were looking over the Dr. Phil website, kind of joking around that they were going to write in about something so they could get on the show, and were reading aloud the topics the Dr. Phil staff are interested in for future shows. You know, stuff like “Do you know someone who is extremely annoying” and “Is your adult boyfriend treating you like dirt” and other strange, weird and funny things, when they came to one that read “Do you know someone who is extremely inspiring and would like to recognize them for what they do?” …. they both looked at each other and almost simultaneously said “Mom!”, then Brittany told Callie to hurry up and start writing about me. I was at once both deeply touched and totally thinking they were nuts. LOL But they truly wanted to do it (I said no, though. I do NOT want to try to get on TV! I told them it was enough for me that they felt that way). Isn’t that just the sweetest thing ever? It almost made me cry, the softie that I am. Later when Callie was alone I asked her if they really felt that way, and she said “Of course we do”. Wow. Not only is it the coolest thing imaginable to have your own kid think you’re an inspiration, but one of her friends, too? That’s a double Wow! I gotta say, that lifted my spirits like you wouldn’t believe! I’m a very lucky mom.

Technorati Inspirational People, Moms & Daughters, Dr. Phil,
