Peg, this is a lesson I hope to remember for many years to come! Some day this story will be edited and sent to thousands via email to help encourage your daughter–except by then, she’ll be in high school! Thank you so much for sharing.

Nice story, Peg! Make sure your daughter understands that Milk Maids and Milk Men are what keep the world spinning.

Thank you, and good luck to your daughter…I’m glad this post might be helpful…It’s so hard as a parent, to strike the right balance between encouraging our kids to follow their “dreams,” while preparing them at the same time, for when things don’t quite work-out the way we plan. But it’s thrilling as a parent, when our own children inspire us, by what they accomplish, and even more so, by their own natural resiliency, when they face obstacles.

Great post Peg. We’re waiting to hear whether my 12-year old daughter gets a lead in “Into the Woods” (Cinderella) this week and I am going to share this with her. It will be good for her to read whether she gets the part or not.
