I miss going to the shooting range with her, she was deadly with her M1 Carbine.
When a kid knows that they are unconditionally loved like that, they don't need positive reinforcement from any place else.
I still hear from her almost every day, either phone, skype , text or facebook.

do you realize that the kind of parenting you are speaking about is pretty rare in the US now and that programs like Fred Rogers was the closest many children ever got to real parenting. Being a good parent puts you in a position to downplay the importance of shows like his but for many his words may have been the only kind words they heard in a day
