Holding Onto Those Magical Moments
Today I knew that Marie was glad I was her Dad. She called this morning and had a problem with Pages '09 and an outline she had been writing as a homework assignment. She had accidentally compressed the outline into "one line per item" mode, and was in a bit of a panic because she needed to have it printed out for today.
I looked at what she was doing, then we went through all the menu bar settings and at the very right, there it was. Click that, and she was in business.
The relief in her voice was something I'll remember for a long time. Moments like this - where you can tell that one of your kids is really, honestly, grateful that they are your kid, are few and far between for teenagers. It was something I really enjoyed.
