While I only have one daughter I still wouldn't assume something negative
as referring to her. The words that make me think of her are:

Wonderful woman, kind, generous, compassionate, World's greatest daughter/
sister/ mother, nurse, giver of ease to the dying, etc. Funny the words
that I associate with her have nothing to do with what she is, but rather,
*WHO* she is. One wonders if it could be that I see my daughter (and also
my son) as a person as opposed to a symbol.

For the record the words I associate with my son include a few of the
above, but also brilliant, caring, would give you the shirt off his back
even if it were his last one, extremely talented in many ways specifically
musically in this case and my favorite; World's best son/ brother/ uncle/
cousin. When my youngest older brother died his sons more than anyone else
were really lost emotionally and it was Shawn who stood with them
supporting them in anything they needed. I really lucked out in the kid
department. :)
