My nearly 16-yr old daughter has her moody days, but my son and

(separated) hubby are FAR more moody... is not always a

talker, but when she's in the mood, what a delightful time we have!

Lately, we've had the best conversations about friends, boys, school,

marching band, teachers, sex, drinking, her brother, Grandma, etc.

It's truly the joy of my life having her for company these days....

but it's only when SHE feels like talking. :-)

while to contemplate... really hit with me. She is a good author!
