My estranged hubby and I have a brilliant 18-year old daughter who has been working since the age of 16. She received a full academic scholarship plus numerous monetary awards for her high school achievements. Needless to say, she's built up a nice little nest egg.
Estranged hubby has always been an exceptional father. For instance, when Baby Girl needed an abacus in 3rd grade, he made one for her. He taught her how to drive, paid for her orthodontic treatments, and bought her contact lenses when vanity came a-callin.' He is such a proud papa.
Well, Proud Papa needed a quick loan this weekend. I couldn't help out; none of his friends could come up with the amount needed, so he was forced to ask Baby Girl. Well, our little darling blister didn't disappoint him. She wrote out the check for $900 with a smile and a flourish. Watching her do it, my chest became so constricted that I had to walk away before I broke down into tears.
It is such a touching moment when we realize that, yes, we've done a good job of raising our kids.
As I said, I just wanted to share this.
