    I really believe that our daughter getting married was the hardest thing for my husband. Nobody was good enough for her. Between you and me, I think he still thinks so.

    Heart-warming Cloudia. There is nothing like a daughter and I am so lucky to have two! Equally lucky I have to say to have one amazing son.

    I never had a daughter Cloudia but I think most of those quotes go for mothers and sons too.
