Moments Like This

I received an email from one of Mackenzie's teachers today. When I saw the subject, "Mackenzie", my first thought was... oh, I hope everything's ok. Here is what the email said:

"Just a note to let you know how much I have enjoyed Mackenzie as a student. She is polite and helpful to her classmates. She has shown a lot of creativity on recent projects. She is obviously very motivated and shows maturity beyond normal ninth graders. You may be well aware of this already, but I wanted to make sure you know it has not gone unnoticed."

Wow, parents cherish moments like this. Moreover, they cherish kids like Mackenzie. This isn't the first compliment I have received about her. Within the last couple months I received two other notes from teachers, as well as a phone call from one of her friends' moms.

In this mixed up world, where even the best kids can get off track, I feel so blessed and lucky. Moreover, I am happy for her!
