Reply #79: Terri S ~ that means a lot to me

Isn't it interesting that it doesn't matter who we are or how old we are ~ a compliment is a powerful thing.

I have been blessed in my career and in life in general to have people say nice things to me.

Yet, whenever I give a speech or write a poem or achieve anything in life, the first thing that I do is ask my Mother, "Mom, are you proud of me?"

It's funny, because a few minutes ago, I called her into the room and asked her if she liked my post.

She sat beside the computer and read(at 90 years old)the entire thread.

Mom said to tell everyone at DU hello and that she loved what I posted!
I still need her approval after all these years.

I call her gomama! :hug:
