I am about to have a proud, maternal moment. Feel free to look away. I am very proud of my daughter. She awe-inspires me. Although she is 13, I can learn from her.

Without wanting to blow my own trumpet, I think she gets this strength of verbal reasoning & analytical observation from me but her gentler, more easy-going, more confident nature makes it less angst-ridden, less combative & less doubtful than mine at her age.

My job is clearly to make her aware that she has a skill and an emotional & intellectual maturity beyond her years and encourage her to explore and express it. I am sure she will be a remarkable & powerful woman and I am excited to watch her develop.

My proud maternal moment is now over. As you were. I was just overcome by admiration of her casual analysis of what people mean by 'love' & the different kinds of love that there are and why it matters whilst sorting her bag out for school tomorrow. I must now go & think deeply.
