Many, many years ago my daughter bought me a 14K gold birthstone ring with part of the money she received for her Sweet 16 celebration. This was not the first expensive gift she has given me, nor will it prove to be the last. Two years earlier this young lady presented me with a beautiful watch she purchased with her Christmas money. I was touched and honored by her generosity and dutifully expressed that these gifts were way too expensive. As a child I remember preforming similar acts of love for my mother.
To this day I remain humbled and amused by this love. This bond that is not based on material things but based on spirituality. This woman of my womb recognizes the woman I am. Although she is certainly a woman in her own right, she still aspires to follow my footsteps. By doing so, in my humble opinion, she has surpassed my mere achievements. In essence, she has and continues to honor the goddess in me as well as herself.
As a parent, you certainly don't judge or compare your children. However, a good parent will study a child's personality and parent according to such.
A daughter is a blessing. A daughter is the incarnation of God's grace... The Daughter that brings you gold is divine.
Whenever I wear my daughter's ring... I feel like Superwoman!
