Not an ugly parent story!

[mimi]

We all justifyably vent about the mistreatment of some of the parents we must deal with, however I thought I would share a feel good moment I had with a mom yesterday.
Her son has been with me for 3 yrs and yesteday was his last day. Sweet boy and nice parents. His Grandma dropped him off and gave me a lovely box of chocolates and a hug. Very kind. His mom came for pick up with the most beautiful bouqet of assorted gorgeous flowers I have ever received. It was huge!! She gave me a card, and a long hug and said see you next year as her daughter will start with me in Sept/13. I was speechless with grief as a watched them go. Later I opened the card and she said such lovely things about knowing her child was safe and loved with me. Inside was also a $100 gift card to a restaurant. Wow! I had a little cry again. It feels so good to be acknowledged for the work we do. The card with her heartfelt appreciation was my favorite gift. It's a keepsake. Just thought I'd share this and say sometimes we have to deal with alot of unreasonableness and feel down and then someone comes along and makes us feel like everything we do is worthwhile. This good feeling is going to last a long time with me
