Every parent secretly wants their child to shine.
The other day, I got a call from my 10-year-old’s writing teacher at school. They are holding a writer’s festival this week and he wanted to make sure we could make it. He said my daughter was one of the best writers in the class. My heart swelled with pride.
Imagine what it would feel like if your child really excelled — like was one of the finalists on “American Idol.” Can you even imagine how that would feel? Now you don’t have to thanks to momlogic.com. They posted interviews last week with the mothers of Idol finalists’ Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. It’s neat to get a glimpse into what the moms were thinking and feeling as their sons progressed into stardom, and how they felt when it was announced that underdog, Kris, beat the judge’s favorite, Adam, for this year’s title. Check out their comments here and here.
Most of us will never see our kids reach this kind of stardom, but there will always be moments when we fill with pride.
Last week Lilly actually caught the ball after a draw in her lacrosse game. I found myself glancing around to make sure everyone else saw it too. I was so proud.
