[quote=Anonymous]My DD is only 12, but she's beautiful. To put it mildly, I hit every branch in the ugly tree on the way down. In every single picture of me since I was 3 or 4, I have always tried my hardest to look my best when photographed. She on the other hand, will purposely make ugly and silly faces and photograph them, secure in the knowledge that she doesn't really look that way. Her confidence fascinates me. She has so much confidence where I have had none.

I'm not really jealous of her. Just so, SO relieved that someone I love more than life itself is not going through the hell I've gone through. I picked her up from school last Friday and while we were waiting for the bus to head home, two different kids, both in higher grades than hers, yelled out to her from across the street - one to let her know of an award she'd gotten, and one who just wanted to wave goodbye. She has no idea how lucky she is, or how different things could be, or are for other kids.

I don't want her to feel guilty for being born with an advantage and yet try to balance that with her being aware of other kids who don't have it. [/quote]
