One of the joys of parenthood is, simply, enjoying the passage of time. I’ve always been fortunate that I can talk about, almost anything with my daughter and, while I admit, I sometimes squirm when the topic of conversation is no longer toys or the Spice Girls or high school and becomes one of relationships, I’m glad that I’m there to offer whatever limited advice I can give. So, here goes: When you find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stand in front of you when other’s cast stones, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who will hold your hand when your sick, who thinks your pretty without makeup, the one who turns to his friends and says, ‘that’s her’, the one that would bear your rejection because losing you means losing his will to live, who kisses you when you screw up, watches the stars and names one for you, that’s the guy you may want to keep around. I think it’s pretty good advice…….
