Thought this was very touching and wanted to share.

I love this answer and would also answer this to my son, if he ever asked:

"Did I turn out to be the son you wanted when I was born. Did I meet your expectations?"

"You've exceeded my expectations, sweetie," his mother replied. "I really had to learn to think out of the box with you. It's made me much more creative as a parent and a person ... you are just so incredibly special to me, and I'm so lucky to have you as my son."

Thanks for sharing. That was very real, honest and lovely. I hope they do more of those.

So nice. I always feel like crying when i see stuff like this... knowing that others do experience parenting like I have. It is such a special experience
