Mother's Day

Can you believe Mother's Day is coming up? Mother's day is always harder when you live away from your mom. What do you send what do you do when you live far away? Anyway I found this on facebook and I totally cried. One it's very sweet, two I'm 37 weeks pregnant and just plain emotional, but three I'm having a GIRL! My first daughter...I hope to have a very special bond with her and can be close to her. It seems to be difficult drawing the line between friend and also mother. It's all going to be a very new learning experience. really am looking forward to what she can teach me as a mother to a baby girl. I have this feeling and have heard that it is very different from having a boy. : )

Letter from a Mother to a Daughter:

 "My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”... Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl? When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way... remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day... the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If I occasionaly lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you. And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked. When those days come, don’t feel sad... just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say, I love you... my darling daughter. "

Happy Mother's Day!
