DD (18) has just told me in two separate messages that she loves me. She’s on holiday and needed my help sorting a couple of things. So I’m pretending I’m completely chill about it

Dd is not a hugger and is not one for spontaneous declarations of affection or, frankly, gratitude. She’s had a loooong journey to her holiday with little sleep and a couple of low level obstacles have come up - easily resolved after messaging me.
So it feels nice. And I wanted to brag about it without actually bragging in real life and being a dick😬

I had a similarly loving slightly tipsy voice message from my 18 y o DD this week. I will keep it forever!
