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 occasionally 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.”

My dear girl (woman) the day you see I'm getting old (growing up), I ask you please be patient, but most of all, to try to undertstand what I'm going through, just as much as I will understand you.

If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don't iinterrupt to say: "You said the same thing a minute ago" Just listen, please.

Try to remember the times when you where little.

Don't be mad and don't try to embarrass me.

Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to ______________________ when you were just a young mom. And I loved you anyway. Because in my eyes you were perfect & i didnt know any better.

When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to _________________, give me the time to learn and don't look at me that way...

Remember, mummy, I patiently (and sometimes impatiently) taught you how to do so many things.

The day you see I'm gettimg old, I ask you please to be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through.

If I occassioanly lose track of what we're talking about, give me the time to remember - don't lose patience with me.

And if you can't, don't be impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most imortant 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 we first walked together.

Then, I will be able to cherish you 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. Because you were there for me.......as I grew older.

I was actually thinking of this today when I was sitting in complete silence, if I had a daughter one day and she was sitting right in front of me...how much love I would have for her. And then it occured to me, that kind of love, the way I would look at her and put my all in her, thats how my mom looked at me when I was little, thats how she looks at me now. I would want nothing but happiness for her, and thats just what my mothers intentions are for me all the time.

Shes put her everything in making me. All that I am today, she's made. I love her so much and I would do everything and anything for her happiness always.

lol omg i should get outt of here before i tearup again.

love this post
