There are days where an overwhelmingly joyful feeling happens due to one of your kids. That was my feeling on my daughter's twelfth birthday.
This had been a super busy week for the family with many activities before and after school piled on with the never-ending load of homework. My daughter had been stressing all week about getting her homework done so I was pretty sure she was going to have either a miserable or just okay birthday. I was happily surprised when I heard over and over that evening how "this was my best birthday ever".
