One of the proudest moments I had with my daughter was when I sent her to see her grandma (my MiL) who was close to death, it was after the divorce and I was putting her on the plane to the Peg on her own, she was 12, I pretty much drilled it into her that she needed to be all smiles and not cry once with her Gran, that she could do that after, but Granny needed her to be happy.
My ex wasn't happy with me 'suppressing her feelings' but my father in law rang me up to say thanks after.
