I don't know why I react as I do when my daughter shows wisdom superior to mine at times. I'm surprised. It's happened so many times that I know I shouldn't be. It's amazing how much I learn about myself by watching her and how much I grow by taking it all in. She is so very intuitive, intelligently funny and oh so honest in her take on things. When she sleeps, I look at her and wonder how this amazing being came to be in my life, what did I do right to deserve her. Yeah, she's not perfect and at times quite frustrating, being 13, but when I consider some of the tribulations a few of my friends go through with their children I count my blessings (and worry about what the future may hold). I enjoy her company so thoroughly and cherish the unexpected pearls of wisdom from her beautiful heart and mind.
