It was the LAST conversation I wanted to have with her.

I also had 2 older sisters, so no biggy. Mine happened in the afternoon and I told my mom that evening (kinda uncomfortably), she was EXSTATIC. Gave me a BIG HUG and said she was proud of me (no idea what for... maybe for making it likely she would one day havegrandchildren?). Even though the things were awkword I always felt like I could talk to my mom about anything. Sounds like it's the same for your daughter and you. Good for you for keeping the relationship between you healthy and trusting! That can be a real challenge. I hope I can do the same when my daughter gets that old.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620999018026605884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637135014554458663.post-71798707712262796652008-07-24T22:36:00.000-07:002008-07-24T22:36:00.000-07:00Will someone tell me why this post made me tear up...Will someone tell me why this post made me tear up and get emotional??? Okay, I think it's because (in my UNprofessional, UNeducated opinion) that you have raised your daughter to be confident and to expect grand things from her life!
