My daughter is only 7 but she has more empathy, grace and class then most adults I know.  We were watching a parade where candy was being thrown into the crowd for the children.  Well just two groups away were several adults who were mentally challenged.  She could tell by the look of delight & longing on their faces that they really wanted some of that candy too.  So she gathered hers up said please take me over there Mommy and she gave the candy to some very happy peoples.  I have never been prouder of her.  Every time she does something like this it brings tears to my eyes.  Because I know that she is not acting she is just being  her short delightful self.

What a blessing. I would be proud too.

You are right to be so proud of her. Most adults would not even take the time to be that kindc or considerate.

You are lucky to have such a wonderful daughter, that would bring tears to my eyes as well. Give her an extra hug, it's been forever since this parade but she gets another one just because. LOL

And you should be very proud. Treasure each moment you have.
Ellie !. Oct 19, 2008, 12:26am EDT
Like mother, like daughter. She learned it somewhere. People who care about people are the best.
Sarah (I want points) Nov 11, 2008, 10:45am EST
Sounds like a great little person... I hope she keeps all of that.
Nettie R. Dec 17, 2008, 11:30pm EST
What a sweet caring little girl. I bet you could just burst! She learned that compassion from someone...bet it was you!
Sandra L. Jan 1, 2009, 1:20pm EST
That makes me want to cry. What a beautiful person you have there. I have always told my children that inside beauty is much more important than outside beauty and you have just shared a story that shows me the pinnacle of inside beauty.
carmel m. Jan 2, 2009, 8:41pm EST
Thanks all. Her younger sister is learning by her example to be kind to others. They both think more of others then them selves.. I am one lucky mommy!!
Lee P. Jan 2, 2009, 9:41pm EST
I believe your daughter is an "old soul". Give her a big hug from grandma Lee.

It says "she is her mother's daughter"...you must have been a good example for her. Very heartwarming.
Ginger C. Jan 15, 2009, 12:08am EST
Wonderful feeling knowing your babies are on the right track!

Fran S. May 26, 2009, 12:29pm EDT

she is a sweet & kind child, she learned that from someone (probably YOU!!)
Deb J. Dec 1, 2009, 8:50am EST
What a little angel...I am trying to teach my daughter compassion to for those that may be different than you! You are so right on my son/grandson pic that men just are grown up boys!!! You got it right!
