Over the weekend my DD9 and I were on our way to her skate team practice and we were listening to one of the local radio stations that was doing a St. Judes telethon. They had a parent on who was telling the story of her daughter who had cancer and the fight that they had, the end of the story was not one of the happy ones. Needless to say I am driving down the road with tears rolling down my cheeks. Kayla in a very serious voice from the back seat tells me to dial the # on my cell phone because she is going to send them $10.00 of her money to "help the sick kids". This of course made me cry even harder! When I finally pulled myself together I dialed the phone and gave it to her and she did all the talking and gave them all the information.
A couple hours later a family friend called my mom and asked her if Kayla donated any money through the radio station because she heard her name announced.
This is the second time she has donated her own money to St. Judes.....
Just when I start thinking that I am creating a self centered child she goes and does something like this. Maybe I am doing something right.
 
ah the joy in giving.. and the joy in teaching to give..... and the rewards of parenting....... yay!!!!!
 

Send big hugs to Kayla for me. And a high five to you, way to go Mom! You've done something right! :angel:
 
What a wonderful daughter she is and you must be extremely proud of her. Give her a hug from me and kudos to mom for raising a wonderful daughter.
 
Thanks everyone for all you kind comments!
She is a GREAT kid and I don't know what I would do without her! She is my best friend and biggest fan.
 
That is such a wonderful story, thanks for sharing it with us. We should be able to share our proud moments as parents. She is such a special person to want to give her own money to a wonderful organization. Make sure you tell her that there are many people of the boards who think she did a wonderful thing. You are also doing a great job as a parent. I know that sometimes we don't think so (had one of those days yesterday), then something like that happens:D . Have a very blessed Christmas.
