Y'know - though there have been many moments that stroked my ego - and pleased me beyond measure, I would say I tend to feel Pride more for "my" kids; and I am blessed to have connections with a couple hundred of them. (532 at last count *grin*)

One moment that sticks in my mind - glancing up during a church service to see a young man who struggled mightily both academically and socially - running a finger along the print of a prayer book as he read the prayer for the benefit of the younger boy next to him. Watching him turn from the stereotypical "juvenile delinquent" into a role model for youth has been a pleasure and a great source of pride, becuase it has not been easy for him.
