Re: Moments of overwhelming happiness
In grade 4 her class was asked by the teacher to paint on a sheet of 2" X 2" piece of paper a notable event in history. That painting of the Apollo 11 moon landing is still on my wall in the basement, where everything I treasure is kept.
You're raising her right, buddy I hope you too will have a few things to hang on your wall as well; it'll happen soon enough!
All the best and thanks for making my day with that,

I can only just remember my children at that age.
It is a fine time in life.
