Today, My daughter told me I was beautiful.
It made me feel more beautiful than I have ever felt in a way that I had never felt beautiful.
It was not what she said,
It was not the first time that she had ever said it,
It was not that others in my life have not said it,
...or thought it
...or felt it
...or believed it.
It was that in that moment I knew that SHE meant it.
She meant it from her grown Woman
and now a Mother also heart.
Today I felt beautiful...so deeply, so fully, so completely beautiful.
I wondered if my Mom had felt this wonderful and beautiful
on the occasions that I had told her that she was beautiful?
Oh, how I hope she did, I truly hope she did...
I am sure she did.
For today, I felt beautiful because the most beautiful soul felt moved to share how she felt and she is my daughter and SHE is truly beautiful...
She chose to see beauty...
AND LOVE and that is quite Beautiful indeed.
Love, Cheryl 
I am beautiful...and so are you...ALL OF YOU
What a moving write up. I love that picture too!
