(77,868 posts)I find my role changes as I age. While I can't do everything that I used to, I can do some of it, plus other things that I didn't do in the past.
And many thanks -- yes, I am proud of my daughter! She averages a couple calls or texts per week. I get a kick out of it when she asks for my advice, and remind her that she has far surpassed me. Then she notes I have more experience, before running things by me. I ask what options she sees, and she lists them. I ask what she thinks is best, and she tells me. Then I say what I've said to her since she was little: trust your own judgement. She laughs and says she knows that, but just wanted me to remind her!
I will not be surprised if she runs for office in the near future. She has a lot of experience, and very good judgement.
