Accomplishment you're most proud of...

**fushingfeef** · January 17th, 2013

What accomplishment are you the most proud of? Maybe you won a special award. Maybe you have a great relationship with someone. Maybe you can do something better than anyone else. Maybe you ran a marathon. Or maybe it's something like holding down a thankless job for years. Let's hear it!

Personally, I'd say raising my proudest accomplishment is raising my two beautiful, intelligent, healthy, sweet, and fun daughters! This accomplishment is technically not done yet...they're still only 5 and 7 years old.

I am still not sure why but the blurb that came with it said something about service to my community or something similar. It surprised the heck out of me!

According to Wikipedia, this is why they chose you!!!

In Canada, the medal was administered by the Chancellery of Honours at Rideau Hall and was awarded to Canadians who made a significant contribution to their fellow citizens, their community, or to Canada over the previous fifty years.[3] Various organizations were invited to propose the names of candidates for the medal; this included all levels of Canadian government, educational and cultural organizations, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, veterans' groups, sports associations, and philanthropic and charitable bodies

My marriage. Married and pregnant at 17 with no support from parents, we have made it 40 years! It's been a scary, wonderful, boring, hilarious and always changing relationship.

That is seriously amazing. Marriage (and any other committed partnership) is so hard and yet so rewarding!
