Texas Daughter's Recruitment Thread!

[adpialumnaecrh]

I must admit TexasMom your posts are not only interesting, but some of them have made me sniffle a little. I think it is absolutely amazing that you are supporting your daughter through the entire formal recruitment experience. It is obvious that you have developed a relationship with your daughter in such a way that your daughter feels comfortable sharing her innermost feelings with you. I hope that she always feels this way towards you and recognizes your inner strength and your unconditional love for her! What an amazing gift to pass on to a young woman!

On a side note, you are to be commended on your courage in helping her deal with rejection in such a mature and understanding manner! Your commitment to ensuring your daughter's privacy is courageous. My father was the one who supported me through my recruitment experience and he once told me (guru that he is), "Rejection does not mean failure, unless it does not motivate you to pursue success!" You are an outstanding mother to be willing to stand beside your daughter throughout this exhausting time! The listening you have done in this one week alone has only helped to build her resilence!

My thoughts, prayers, and my fingers are crossed that she continues to have a successful recruitment experience.

I continue to wish you and your daughter the best and hope that where ever she decides to go, she finds a place she can call HOME!
