How I Love Her

My teenaged daughter told me today she had a song she wanted me to listen to, that it was written for us. We listened to it on the way to church this afternoon. I sobbed, which is not unusual. But she sobbed too, which is. She's not a cryer, at least not over movies(except that damned Marley and Me) or songs, but this song was just the most perfect to sum up our relationship, and we've been through every single thing in it. And I'm proud that my almost 14 year old thinks that way. I looked back at her while we were listening and both crying and she grabbed my hand and looked at me with the same love and adoration she looked at me with when she was little. And my heart just melted. How did I get so lucky??
