person A: I have felt some of the best moments of pure happiness seeing someone I love getting something they've worked hard for -- like my daughter's acceptance into her college and major of choice!
person B: That sounds exciting! Congratulations to her. I bet there was a lot of celebration to be had for such an achievement!
person A: Absolutely! Of course_comma_ now the real work begins ;-) But her *knowing* that it was her hard work paid off in such a gratifying way -- ah_comma_ so happy for her!
person B: I bet! But at least now_comma_ like you said_comma_ she can see what hard work can achieve. Hopefully the path continues in the best way possible and she can get everything you both hope(d) for!
