why I am glad she is mine

Today E went to school from 8:30 to 3:30.
She came home and did her math homework from 3:35 to 3:55.
She then went to piano lessons from 4:00 to 4:30.
From 4:30 to 5:00 she finished her math homework.
Afterwards she had swimming lessons on the other side of town from 5:30 to 6:00.
She ate dinner and visited with the family from 6:20 to 7:00.
Finally, from 7:00 to 8:00 she finished her writing and spelling homework.
And I love her because even after an almost 12 hour day of nonstop studying and practicing she was still happy and never once complained. She was so grateful to be able to go to piano lessons and swimming. There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude that this little person is mine. I feel like I learn more from her than she could ever learn from me. I absolutely love her.
