My wish for me...

As parents we have some many hopes and wishes for our children in the present and in their future. It isnt very often the parent takes the time to think what they wish for themselves when raising there children. For myself I wish..... *To do my best to be kind, caring and loving...in all situations presented *To always try and put myself in your shoes so I can understand why it is you do, think or want something...from this place I hope i can at the very least understand. *To stand up for you. * To support you even when I may not see your perspective * To teach you what I believe will help you to be a good person. *To always help, assist and be on your team. *To allow you to grow up with independence, competence and self confidence that I have helped you to achieve and instil in you. *To understand as a mother at a certain point in your life you wont need me to be your mother...but a friend who will never let you down. I love you Brooklyn and Brycen...I may not be perfect or anywhere close to it, but I promise you I am doing my best and once you are parents you too will see how hard this role is and how much work, effort and love goes into it every moment of your lives.

A letter from a mother to her daughter!

Get the kleenex ready for this!!! "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. "
