You will never believe what happened to me today??!!! My daughter, Alex, who is nine years old, threw me a congratulations party......she made up a song and dance about how proud she was of me on my weight loss, being brave enough to have surgery, etc. She called my mom and invited her over, too. She asked my mom to pick-up flowers and a balloon for me. And she made me a poster that said....congrats, Mom...I love you....you ROCK!!

Well, needless to say, I cried and hugged everyone to death....

We all spent the day together...my mom, my husband and my daughter, playing poker (by the way, Alex won at poker!!), we had a wonderful lunch which I made and a wonderful dinner which my husband made.

I am just so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter, husband and mother....

What a great day......thanks for letting me share.....

Wowowowowow! That is one amazing kid you have there!! Give that girl a hug and a high five for me. She "gets' it and that is wonderful.

Mad props to mom and dad too for raising such a smart kid! I'm in awe!

wow, that sounds like lots of fun! Congratulations on your weight loss and also congratulations on having a wonderful family!!

At nine years old she is wise beyond her years! Isn't it wonderful when they notice the weight loss and actually are proud. To give you a party was awesome. Unconditional love, that is what children offer! Ain't it just grand!!! Congratulations for you!
