"Good job, Bella!...You're mother will surely be elated when she hears that her once unruly daughter is out here doing such good deeds."
I said in a cheerful voice, which made Bella frantically shake her head in a fluster, as she knew that her mother would tease her about this as well. I then patted her head, which made her look up at me with big, wide eyes, and gently said,
"I'm also quite proud of you, Bella, and the graceful lady you've grown up to become...I know that I don't say this much, but I really am so happy that I've gotten such a kind, innocent, and beautiful girl like you as my daughter, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for blessing me with you."
