Mother and Daughter

This framed quote is very special to me. All through her 20's my daughter told me that she didn't want to be anything like me. Whatever I stood for, she stood for the opposite. Upon leaving for college, she told me, "I'm going to do everything you never allowed me to do in high school." Needless to say I felt like she slapped me on the face. I stood by her as she survived two failed marriages, but she gave me three grandchildren. This girl had to do everything the hard way; and she had to do it HER WAY. She finally grew up and has turned it all around. She finished college, has a master's degree and wants to work on her doctorate. For her to give me this quote was huge!! It took lots and lots of prayer. God was faithful and he continues to be. He brought her back to her children and back to me, but most important of all: she came back to Him. I clung to the scripture that says "train a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Beautiful gift!
