:cry: Those are all so wonderful. I really am crying over here and my DH is now questioning whether I need to be on this board so often, :lol: . I've had so many touching moments with my girls and treasure them all but that one little comment, out of nowhere and during my busiest time of day, really stopped me. My oldest is 8 and still thinks I'm the "best mommy in the world." My father informs me that my time is coming and soon, I'll know what he went through during my teen years. :-( Maybe that's what helps me to cherish these times. Tonight's "Aha" moment really just applied to the quilting--really feeling like a good quilter, despite all of my mistakes, thanks to the praise of a 6 year old. But, it really helps to boost the mommy pride at the same time!

If I could point out one right now, I'd have to say that the contented peace of your furry friend on a quilted treasure in your avatar picture could definitely serve to prove that you're cherished and important! :mrgreen:

I made my niece a quilt for her 2nd birthday. She was not feeling so good for her party, and was a little cranky and weepy. When she opened the quilt (with matching doll quilt for her favorite baby) she beamed, scooped the quilts up, and ran to her room, where she politely asked to be put to bed for her nap time. Nothing my SIL could say would convince her to come back to her party -- she wanted to cuddle w/ her quiltie.

I've been lucky enough to have several (married for 31years, raised 2 children, have 1 grandson, been teaching elementary education for 31 years, quilting etc.) Most recently, my grandson snuggled next to me and declared, "Grammy, you're mine forever. We make a good team." (He likes to work with me in my studio.)

One of my treasured phrases came from my daughterm now married and with a little boy. Her comment was "gee mom, I'm begining to sound just like you!"

Mine was a few years back when I surprised all the kids and grandkids with quilts for Christmas.... the "oh mom's and wow gramma's" made my heart smile! :)

I have moments with all my kids very often. The most recent one was this morning when my 16th year old came to see me before school because he wanted to go to an Art supplies store in Manhattan after school and wanted to make sure I could go with him. Just two weeks ago he asked me to meet him for lunch when he had half day of school. He loves to hang out with me and I love it. So do Emi, but we all know that already.

My then little grandaughter had the stomach flu....she told her Momma that she needed the quilt Nonnie made 'cause it had love sewn into it. The kids in that family call the quilts I made for them "Nonnie Love".
