To this day, we have a wonderful relationship. I think trust between a mother and daughter is developed early on. I think it's great that you are respecting her privacy (even if she is only 8)LuckyStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961086171978883592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-15585536480846946302010-02-06T06:20:37.461-08:002010-02-06T06:20:37.461-08:00Yay you!

I'm nearing the end of my 3rd round of revisions, and I'm starting to get a little antsy. However, I can't think of anything I'd rather do! (Besides music, of course!)<br /><br />Just think, you'll get to sit back, pat yourself on the back for about five minutes, and then dive into the REAL work! (Ha! I know you love me, anyway.) <br /><br />In all seriousness, congrats - it's always incredible when you fully give birth to the new baby. ;-)Debra Lynn Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238268767406623274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-77931907270478621062010-02-04T07:29:40.895-08:002010-02-04T07:29:40.895-08:00Go you!
