Am I proud of my daughter?

[AverageOldGuy]

You are damn right I am proud of her!!!!!!!

My daughter is a single lady of a certain age, living in her place on Capitol Hill, working for one of those DC law firms that bills more per hour than I ever made in a month.

She is the nicest lady you could ever hope to meet and she's a DEMOCRAT through and through; raises money for the DNC, she's up to $2 million for Biden and Harris so far. But don't mess with her.

Because Republicans want to destroy Planned Parenthood, she and her radical fringe friends all go to a local PP clinic for gynecological services (and to mess with the demonstrators).

This morning she went to PP for her annual Pap smear. A young woman was in there, accompanied by another young woman, both of them appeared lost and distressed. They were seated next to my daughter, frantically making phone calls. The first one was there for an abortion and she could not afford it, even at PP basic price. After listening to the to young woman make a couple of phone calls trying to round up $500, my daughter located the clinic manager, told her to "put anything this young woman needs on my bill and here's my AMEX card."

I'm so proud I could bust!!!!!!

You should be super proud.

[Hekate]

13. I'm touched to the heart, and tearing up. Thank her for all of us. 💕💕💕💕💕

[beemerphill]

14. I'm proud of her too!

The "supposed" Christians talk about "Love Thy Neighbor" and "Acts of Charity", but few follow through. Your Good-Hearted daughter lives the life that the Fake Christians talk about. I am thinking that her Parents taught her well.

[blm]

15. You raised a good person, AvOlGuy.

Proud of you both.

[PortTack]

17. Kudos to your daughter and her friends!!

20. Wonderful! This is the "practice random acts of kindness" and "pay it forward"

I've paid for quite a few checkout customers ahead of me in the line when they're fumbling to find the extra pennies. Just tell the cashier "I'll take care of it" and know that we may all need help at some point.

[twodogsbarking]

21. Thanks for taking my breath away. Just great all around.

[irisblue]

22. You rasied a real one

[Happy Hoosier]

23. Awesome

You SHOULD be proud.

[electric_blue68]

24. Blessings on her, her friends, and you! Very moving!

[multigraincracker]

25. Good for her and you.

I must mention that PP is not just for women. I got my vasectomy there when no one else would. I was 54 and never had children. Only cost me $400.

[Irish_Dem]

26. Wonderful woman. You are right to be proud.

[NavyDem]

27. I don't know your daughter.

But, let me just say that I too am very proud of her!

[Biophilic]

28. I've been sort of on edge and depressed today.

Your daughter’s zeal and generosity has made a big difference. I forget sometimes that we have some awesome people on our side. Thanks.

[Jean Genie]

29. PP HERO!

You have a WONDERFUL daughter! You have every right to be proud of her. Make sure you tell her that as you give her an extra-big hug!

[ms liberty]

30. I think you did a great job of parenting. n/t

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. WOW You raised a great daughter

You should be proud

[Botany]

32. Barack Obama did something similar as a young mam when he met a lady crying in the airport.

She had a plane ticket for Norway where she was going to meet and marry some
Norwegian but the airlines wanted another 200 to 500 $s for her luggage which she
didn’t have. Her plane was leaving shortly and she broke down because of the stress
so Barack Obama walked up and paid the difference so she could take her belongings
with her to start her new life. The couple paid the future President back, I think named
their 1st born after Obama, and have remained life long friends all the time not seeking
any publicity for anybody.

Please tell your daughter that doing the right thing is always the right thing to do if and
when you can do it. Your daughter is good people and will always be rich in values beyond
money. Congratulations on your part in raising such a good person.

[3catwoman3]

55. I don't remember ever hearing this story.

I’m glad I now know it.

[Botany]

58. Obama and his Norwegian/American friends have something called class

And real class doesn’t need to be loud. Do the right thing and move on.

[niyad]

34. VERY damp thank you to your lovely daughter (and her friends). You

SHOULD be absolutely bursting with pride over her, and the wonderful job you did gifting her to us.

[canetoad]

35. I'm glad you shared this with us

And you are right to be proud of her.

[grandpamike1]

36. Thank you

For posting this, as it is one bright spot in a dismal world we are living in. with what is happening in Gaza, and Ukraine, and our college students who are protesting, and getting beaten up by Police, for using their 1st Amendment rights, to a corrupt SCOTUS, and a Gov ernment that is trying to appease, all sides, instead of leading like he should, it is frustrating to see those who are against America, and are trying to turn this into either an Authoritarian Country, or a Theocracy, a bit of sunshine your daughter gave me, is wonderful, as I believe she has the makings of a person who can help others to find the correct path. Thanks you,, and thank your daughter.

[bluboid]

37. wow! heroic!

[PittBlue]

47. This made my day.

Kudos to you and your daughter. You raised a brilliant and kind woman.❤️

[raising2moredems]

48. I am proud of your daughter...

and would be of mine too. Donations to reproductive choice organizations are great gifts FYI. I am more than happy when my kiddos donate to one instead of buying me a gift.

Kiddos because "I made the choice to have them".

[ProudMNDemocrat]

49. Sounds like you raised a GREAT daughter.

Paying it forward shows compassion.

Bravo, AOG!!! Be PROUD!

[mjvpi]

50. That's my flavor of family values.

[Aristus]

51. I don't have the words.

I’m so proud of her, and of you, for raising such a wonderful woman.

[relayerbob]

52. What a wonderful story

Sad that the woman was going through that, but you have every reason to be proud of her, for sure.

Thank you for sharing!

[TeamProg]

53. Wow !

[DFW]

54. With good reason, I'd say!

It sounds like some good genes were passed on there!

[Melon]

56. Good for her

[Aussie105]

57. Give her a collective hug from all of us on DU.

Good people need to stand up and make a difference.

She is doing just that.

[FrankTC]

59. Spectacular

Compassion in action!

[spanone]

[people]

62. Wonderful person!

[GopherGal]

63. I don't know you or her, but I'm proud of her too!

And of you for raising her right!



Thanks for a heart-warming tale to start off the long weekend!

[yankee87]

64. Crying my eyes out

Should be so proud, your chest is bursting.
Crying for two reasons, your daughter is amazing and two, the fact that if your daughter wasn’t there, that poor woman.

[Prairie_Seagull]

65. Neither you nor your daughter are-

Average.

Well done by both.

Very heartwarming.

[stage left]

66. You have every right to be proud.

I'm proud of your daughter, too.
