Mothers and Daughters
Something that he said about my mom made me tear up more than any of the hurtful things he told me. My mother told him, “Well, she is my eldest daughter and she will always be special to me. I know she has a bad temper, you know that too, but in the end she always does the right thing”.
It just touches me, the love and loyalty my mother has always given me; it brings tears to my eyes as I write this. Now don’t get me wrong, my mother is not one of those mothers who are blindly loyal to their kids. Believe me, she will be the first one to point out when you are being stupid. But I know, no matter where in the world I am, no matter what kind of trouble I get myself into, I know my mom will always be there to catch me when I fall.
I hope I can do the same for my daughters. I hope I can allow them to be confident enough to venture out on their own but be secure in the knowledge that if they ever falter I will be there to catch them and kiss their booboos away.
