~ My Amazing Daughter ~

by Tina~in_ut

I have an amazing daughter. I don’t know how else to put it. I’m so very proud of her. I could learn so much from her. She is kind hearted and sensitive to others’ feelings.

One of my friends recently lost her dog. She was very sad, of course. I tried to keep her from being sad……sometimes I was successful, and sometimes, not so much. When I told my daughter what had happened, she went into action. I had no idea what she was doing until she was done.

I was on the phone and crocheting at the same time and my daughter kept coming up to me and asking strange questions about the dog. I was getting annoyed because I was on the phone and she kept interrupting me. It was 2am and she really should have been in bed, but she wanted to finish what she was doing before going. On her way to bed, she showed me what she had made. It was a scrapbook page with a poem written from the dog to my friend. The page was decorated. I was astounded. My daughter has never met my friend. She only knows her through me. She used a poem that was given to her by one of her friends when we lost Draco. It meant a lot to her and she wanted to send it off to my friend in the hopes that it would make her feel better.

Later, after she went to bed, I went downstairs and found the lovely mess she had made with all my scrapbook supplies. There was also a note she had written on the back of the page. My initial annoyance at having to clean up after her was replaced by a sense of pride at what she had written. There was so much unconditional love and genuine concern for my friend.

I am so very proud to call her my daughter. Now I'm off to find out who her real mother is......because there is no way she got any of this from me~
