I am reminded of a few years ago when my daughter called to say that she (age 21 or so) had just done a full hair cut and color for free on a lady that just came to live with relatives in our town after having lost everything in Katrina. Yes - she brought tears to my eyes as well, this was a girl who always had the "what's in it for me?" attitude (don't most that age have that attitude?). She grew by leaps and bounds that day -- in fact the next year she lead the salon in the Brest Cancer 3 day walk and raised all kinds of money. <br />thanks for some cut files --- i now have to open them to see if i have the carts or not -- unfortunately I don't have George.moknowsallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705655672540638428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-19561881769801046822009-01-06T01:59:00.000-06:002009-01-06T01:59:00.000-06:00Waaaaaaaaaaaa!! <--me crying.

I think it is so important to instill in children at a young age a sense of selflessness. It is just proof that you are doing a good job as a mother.<BR/><BR/>I have had the wonderful opportunity to pass out those gifts to the families on the trees. They are so thankful that words cannot express how they feel. I promise that your daughter not only impacted you with her gift but the spirit of that family too.stephjacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261730867044890652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-86418266959221283372008-12-25T20:46:00.000-06:002008-12-25T20:46:00.000-06:00Shirley, how proud you must be of your daughter......Shirley, how proud you must be of your daughter...
