My husband and I attended the Thanksgiving lunch at my daughter’s school. It is the school’s annual event to celebrate Thanksgiving food with our children.
I always enjoy this event. The school offers the special lunch to parents and guardians with a small fee. The lunch contained turkey, mashed potato with gravy sauce, steamed corn, rolls, and pumpkin bread with whipped cream.
I just had the lunch, but I already start looking forward to the next year for the lunch.

We had a company during the lunch. It was my daughter’s best friend’s mother and grandmother. They told me they greatly appreciate my daughter for being their child’s friend. My daughter and their child have been close friends for these past two years.
They told me their child has “Oppositional defiant disorder; ODD”. It is common mental disorder for small children who had gone through some traumatic experiences in the family. Since her parents were divorced, the child has experienced the dysfunctional family. According to her mother and grandmother, previously, the child had tough times due to the emotional swings at school.
After my daughter became her best friend two years ago, the child’s emotion got much improved than before. That was why they appreciate my daughter so much.
I recall of their teacher of the previous year. The teacher told me the child often got out of control. Nobody could handle her except for my daughter. The teacher said my daughter worked as the natural tranquilizer for the child. My daughter has a lot of patient and would listen calmly and carefully to the child. That was how my daughter always succeeded to calm her friend down.
My daughter is very nice and kind. She is well-behaved and respects others. She is wise and good at observing others. She speaks up whenever she has to. Many people often praise my husband and me for doing a great job to raise our daughter.
I appreciate their compliments, but it was not due to how we have raised our daughter. I honestly believe her good personality comes from her original soul. My daughter was born with it. She was born already mentally matured. She is an old and matured soul. My husband and I are honored to be her parents in this lifetime. She is an earth angel.
When my daughter was still a toddler, she often told me she would like to become a teacher for difficult children or mentally disordered children. I believe it is one of her life purposes in this life. She might become a teacher to save many children in the future.
I feel honored for being her mother in this life. I am willing to support my daughter for her fulfilling her life purposes.
